Well, I know that a lot of you guys are rolling your eyes now, with all of these strange rumours being posted, but......
This is a fact, not a rumour: Electrolux sold their entire dealer finance operation to GE commercial distribution finance. Every Husky dealer received this information by fax last week. There was a letter from GE as well as a letter from Husky President Dave Zerfoss officially announcing this transaction.
They have set up a new division called Husqvarna Financial Services. Today I spoke to one of their customer service reps to get the low down on what was going on.
It's possible that this transaction is what has been fueling the John Deere/ Briggs rumours. Although some will probably point to this as further evidence that Electrolux is dumping the whole thing.
Until there is a press release, it's all just speculation.
But it is kind of fun, isn't it? Let's start a few more, OK?
1. Stihl bought by Studebaker.
2. Echo bought by The Rev. Sun Myung Moon.
3. Dolmar bought by the Gambino family.
4. Shindaiwa bought by Ben and Jerry's ice cream.
5. Jonsered bought by Chrysler. (Hey, a Hemi-Turbo! Cool!)
