Komischer Twist, nachdem Orion vor zwei Jahren eine Antitrust-Klage gegen Meade eingebracht hatte, was zur Insolvenz von Meade führte, haben sie den Laden nun sogar übernommen:
Orion Telescopes & Binoculars acquires Meade
Optronic Technologies, Inc., better known to backyard astronomers as Orion Telescopes & Binoculars, has announced the acquisition of Meade Instruments following the approval of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California.
In 2019 Orion Telescopes & Binoculars sued Meade, then a subsidiary of Chinese manufacturer Ningbo Sunny Electronic Co. Ltd, in an antitrust lawsuit that included several other manufacturers. The lawsuit found that Sunny colluded with other Chinese manufacturers in a price-fixing scheme that formed a monopoly over the domestic consumer telescope market. In December, 2019, Meade filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
