Why not be factual rather than post half truths?
Vredestein BV are a Dutch Company that was aquired by Apollo in 2009.
What difference does who owns the shares in a Company make to the product itself?
The Company was founded in 1909!!!!!
As with many times in the past, a new owner can have drastic effects on the company- often destroying a solid product in the name of profit. I know I'd be immediately suspicious of that company, until I figured out that their product is still good.
