I don't know if it was making money or not but to answer your question. Depending on the scenario the answer to your question the answer is yes.



let me put it this way

plant A makes 1k As an hour material and salaries 9k$ sold for 10K$

plant B makes 1k Bs an hour material and salaries 1k& also sold for 10k$


if I have the cash why wouldn't I retool plant A to make Bs instread of As if I know I can easily sell 2x as many Bs? I will still have 20k$ in revenue but instead of 10K$ in profit I I will now be at 18k$ and instead of having 10k$ tied up in costs I wiill have 2k$

Who cares? The one(s) in charge of the division that's lagging, that's who. Bean counters don't care that a product is wanted and needed by millions of people, they only want to see a healthy bottom line. They don't give a rat's patoot if ending production on something like this leaves those (and more) people twisting in the wind, they want to see results, dammit! Besides, they probably use Crestron or whatever they have as the premium brand of control, if they even use automation.
