Neways kept itself out of bankruptcy, but at what expense?
This will be an interesting one to watch. You can be sure that these private equity firms will be looking to get their money back and sometimes that can happen at the expense of the distributors associated with the company.
Let's hope this is a step in the right direction for the company and it's distributors.
