For those who are just about to order a DRV product, my thoughts (having been in company divisions that have been acquired by an outside entity) are that nothing is going to change overnight...these changes take many months, if not years. Most acquirers will spend some time learning the acquired business, evaluating their business practices, finding out where they're successful and where they need help. The first months are more focused on integration of personnel into the acquiring company's HR system, integration of enterprise software, etc., and not so much manufacturing methods or massive commercial changes - if those come, it's later in the process. Just in case, though, I wouldn't dawdle too long in placing an order.....
