Techco Is No Longer...
Just confirming the rumors...
Making this post really saddens me because I see the HUGE effort that my good friends at Techco put into making that company successful. Unfortunately earlier this week, they have decided to close their doors. This is an extremely tough economy right now, I'm seeing it effect many of our Vendors in a negative way, and I think that has a lot to do with why things didn't work out for them. It's harder for businesses to stay afloat right now than most people realize. It certainly wasn't because of their lack of service, dedication, or lack of innovation.
Everyone who knows Carlos Duran and Ned Shortsleeve knows how truly dedicated to Techco they were. Those two guys are, and will remain, TOP notch in my book and trust me when I saw we haven't seen the last of them. Some say Techco will be back and I have high hopes that they will one day. I'm lucky enough to have their supercharger on my car and I'm truly impressed with the difference they made in such a short time in our industry.
I want to wish the whole Techco crew (especially my boys) the best of luck with their future endeavors. This door may be closed but I hope a new, possibly better door will be opening for all of you soon. I've enjoyed dealing with all of you over the last year.

It sucks that they are gone, they seemed very meticulous about there products and work. On a lighter note, does this mean liquidation of there inventory?

Hate hearing news like this. Unfortunately it is becoming common in this economy for many companies.
People just don't have the disposable income to support all the competing companies in various industries and it is far from over. Only the strong will survive.
I hope things turn out ok for these guys. Good luck!
