Scottsdale, AZ (January 31, 2008) -- Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) is announcing that it will move production of Guild Guitars from Tacoma, Washington, to its newly acquired Ovation and Hamer Guitar manufacturing facility in New Hartford, Connecticut. The move will take place as a phased operational transfer, expected to be completed before the end of the year.
FMIC’s December acquisition of Connecticut-based Kaman Music Corporation also included the purchase of KMC’s Ovation and Hamer guitar brands and their manufacturing facility in New Hartford, Connecticut. The decision came as the result of an extensive review FMIC conducted to determine the best long-term home for Guild production. The final decision to relocate Guild to New Hartford was driven by FMIC’s desire to improve overall production processes, as well as meet the growing demand for Guild.
