Another corporate headquarters which will be relocated to either Texas or Florida when their lease expires.

Good timing to sell the company now with the price of oil plummeting before all the oil field baws will only be able to afford Rawlings gloves and bats for little Braxton.

Easton C-Core Reflex big barrel was the GOAT. How did Marucci and DiMarini surpass Easton and Louisville in the aluminum bat market?

I hope some of those employees had some stock to make a little cash before they get "restructured" out the door.

Yeah, Kurt should start looking for another job. It's only a matter of time before they bring in the fixer to gut the company.

Eh. This niche-type of industry doesn't really need to be in a specific market to attract talent/additional investment. If anything, they're located in a good spot for their primary market of youth/college baseball.

Y’all both are wrong. The drop 5 Easton redline zcore From the late 90’s is the best bar ever made.

I'd like to think this will happen, but these holding companies have quite the reputation.

Quick, someone should make a list of things headquartered in Louisiana today and won’t be in 5 years.

I think its more of a regional thing for us down here. Marucci is very popular with local teams. My some played a few out of town games last year, and you saw many more Demarini and Easton bats with teams not from Louisiana. marucci does do a heck of a job marketing, and getting the bat contracts for some larger colleges, like LSU will only help the brand recognition. Their name is all over MLB, and it is definitely all over youth ball in the gulf south, which is where the real money is. Their marketing team has done a nice job considering how long they have been in the aluminum bat market. As some have said, I hope the quality stays. If you live local around BR, their warranty is tough to beat considering you can ride down to the store, and swap out the defective product on the spot!

And yes, the Easton Reflex C Core was the best bat in baseball back in the 90's!

"Marucci has 230 employees and its headquarters are expected to remain in the Baton Rouge."

In the Baton Rouge what?
