WEMA USA - out of business?

I need a couple of custom-range fuel tank senders, and have been trying to reach WEMA for almost a month. Sent multiple emails to three different email addresses, and phone numerous times without ever getting a reply or reaching a person.

Calling the phone number on the WEMA website invariably gets a robo-attendant saying "thanks for calling KUS USA" (apparently KUS bought them several years ago). After following the prompts to reach operator, sales team, or technical team, and ringing for a while, the robo attendant comes back on and says "we're sorry we can't take your call, and we're very busy following up on a large number of inquiries received during our closure over the holidays".

Does anyone know if these guys are still open for business, and if so, have a way of reaching them?

Re: WEMA USA - out of business?

Thanks Clive for the links. Apparently WEMA (KUS) are still manufacturing "standard" sending units... but just don't bother answering their phones or their emails.

Given the difficulty reaching them, I've decided to just abandon the custom-range sender plan and will just change out the gauges for standard-range ones that will work with the senders that are still being distributed/sold.

Thanks again.

Jeff

I'm considering the type of fuel tank gauges and decided to go for the sight glass type but they are not cheap (AUD200+)
