“This may be the end of an era for Williams as a family team, but we know we are in good hands. The sale ensures the survival of the team, and most importantly, it provides a path to success. ”, complemented who has held Williams’ reins since Frank stepped away from management.

We look forward to working with the Williams team for a detailed business review to determine where new investments should be directed. The team has a world-class facility in Grove and we ensure there are no relocation plans. “

Neither name change nor relocation

For all intents and purposes, and as has happened in recent cases where investment funds have entered, nothing should change in the short term, beyond the fact that the Williams family loses control of it in the event of a hypothetical sale to third parties or a more unlikely termination. of activity.
