___ NEED TO KNOW ___ MARSHALL AMPLFICATION ___ SOLD!!!!

 TODAY MARSHALL AMPLIFICATION WAS SOLD 
It was bought by ZOUND INDUSTRY a Stockholm Sweden tech company. 
It was at the time owned by Jim Marshall's son Terry and Joanne Marshall Price his daughter.
It's home is Milton-Kenyes but they also own a huge factory in Vietnam and make Marshall amps there as well.
Zounds have made a deal with Jim Marshall in 2010 two years before he died in which speaker & headphones were added to the line and it became The Marshall Group.
Spokesman for Zounds Jeremy De Mailard did not elaborate on any specific plans or changes.
Good or bad it is an end of an era. I bought my Marshall amp a Plexi in 1971 in London UK. So I was there near the beginning of the Marshall explosion as little company to a world leader. Amps come and go but 
a Plexi is cool for life!

UPDATE
The company is not moving out of the UK or moving out of Vietnam.
