After a merger and series of flops, control of the company was ceded to Kubota and was renamed Kubota Pacific and later Kubota Graphics Company. However, the company still wasn't very successful and was finally shut down in 1994.

Famous quotes containing the word pacific:
“I need not tell you of the inadequacy of the American shipping marine on the Pacific Coast.... For this reason it seems to me that there is no subject to which Congress can better devote its attention in the coming session than the passage of a bill which shall encourage our merchant marine in such a way as to establish American lines directly between New York and the eastern ports and South American ports, and both our Pacific Coast ports and the Orient and the Philippines.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
