We are pleased to announce the purchase of certain assets, intellectual property and the rights to manufacture various product lines of The US Baird Corporation(U.S.B.). The new corporate name will be The Baird Machinery Corporation and will be known as U.S. Baird®. We have retained the trade name along with certain key employees including Alan Weir our chief engineer.

Please make note that this is an asset purchase and any previous business issues will need to be resolved by U.S.B.. In going forward we will be utilizing the same vendor base and we would certainly like to continue to work with all of Bairds existing vendors in order to maintain the consistency and quality that our customers have come to know and respect.

As the owner of Hayden Machinery I can assure you that we have outstanding credit and will operate our new company in the same manner. We realize that a good vendor base is critical to our success and you should feel secure in dealing with our new corporation.
