Looks like IBI has/is taking over Ultimate. This is copied from their facebook page.
Hello fellow shooters!
Ryan here from IBI/International Barrels!
You are probably wondering WHY a dude from the barrel shop is posting on the Ultimatum Precision page!?
Well I'm happy (but a little scared bahaha
) to inform everyone that IBI has taken control of Ultimatum Precision and we are beginning the hard work of getting the company up to the standards of excellence that we/I at IBI require .
As you(hopefully)know we make some pretty sweet barrels. I hope those of you that we have dealt with already, felt that we were easy and helpful to deal with. We still have things that we can be better on of course and there's always room for improvement! But the way we built IBI has worked very well.
So now we will be doing the same thing for Ultimatum.
Clearly things needed to change badly.
So everything about how the company does business going forward is changing.
Management is changing. Ownership is changing. Production is changing. Ordering is changing. Delivery is changing. AND of COURSE customer service is changing.
Hell yes it is. All of it.
The only thing that isn't changing is the product...although there will likely be some minor adjustments and maybe even some fresh new ideas in the near future. Always open to suggestions from folks too.
So what happens now?
Well, having had a hard indoctrination in mental management principles by people/shooters much smarter than I....
this means I'm going to work extremely hard to perfect the process of everything we do from this point forward..
We are going to focus on the performance...not the outcome.
Every step of this new journey for us has to be laid out and perfect so that we(and you) get the end result that we all want.
For us, that's turning this thing around and getting great stuff into people's hands.
For you shooters, that's having badass equipment that performs like you need it to.
So I'm going to ask that you give us a bit of leeway to sort through this, take stock of what we have, of what we need, and of what has to be made to complete the orders that are currently in the system.
If you still have an order in the system currently, I WILL make sure you get it as fast as I possibly can. But I'm going to need a bit to figure it all out, get it together and get it on its way to you
That is our promise.
More to follow.
