I just got word from a friend in the industry that says PMI group, that owns JE, Wiseco, K-1 and SRP, plans to close the JE/SRP piston production facility. They have/are selling off all equipment except for 12 machines and they went/are going to the Wiseco piston MFG facility. JE will have a small engineering staff and sales office open. Any pistons made/sold under the JE and SRP name will come from the Wiseco facility. About 100++ jobs are "in the wind". Aug 28 will officially be the last day.
