Bain pumped over 100 million into the place. And it was doing well...for a while.
Bain took over in 1993 and was engaged for eight years. That isn't what they normally do.
Bain did not suck their investment out of it. They were hoping to turn it just like they did Steel Dynamics. Can you read moron.
And if Bain had raided the pension, they would have been taken to court. The pension program was grossly underfuneded (one more reason not to get involved). If they took money out of the pension....I have never seen any documentation to that effect.
The company went belly up when the market for it's products went soft.
You bastards just can't let go.
Bain got most of its money back by forcing CTS to take on unsustainable debt. Bain pulled their money out, with a damn good profit in that scheme. Bain made more money when they raped the pension fund, and forced the American taxpayer to contribute chump change, compared what those 20-30 year workers put int.
Romney was a predatory capitalist. Nothing he did convinces me that he'll pull a secret plan out his ass to create jobs.
Bullcrap.
Bain leveraged the existing assets and talked banks into loaning the company huge amounts of money for expansion. I know people in engineering firms who worked in that place for years (and when they first got there, they were afraid to go into the production areas they were in such bad shape). Regulators didn't help things much as it seems it took longer to get permits to some things.
The company wasn't spiraling down like it was before.
The market for it's products went soft and it was shut down. There were hints of labor issues too. The unions whined all the time...even though it would not have lasted much past 1995 had Bain not come in.
Please document the pension rape you describe. I have never seen anything to that effect or are you just farting out talking points.
Bain made paultry money on this place compared to what they made on Steely Dynamics.
You morons just keep bleating.
There was a whole thread on this and you pissants just need to replay it in the hopes you can change the outcome of the discussion this time.
