What matters now

  1. "transitioned ownership"
    phrase found

    Succession language on website (inference): "H••••, who bought the company in July 1985 and transitioned ownership to his son, [names withheld], in April 2022." "H•••• is a family-owned business and is named after [name withheld] E."

    The sentence is dated history (2022): it describes a handover already made, not one pending. It does not say the company is for sale.
