Is Draftmaster still in business?

I'm picking up a used tandem and want to get a Draftmaster hitch rack.
Draftmaster Racks (atoc.com)

I've tried contacting them, but haven't heard back. Are they still in business?

I ordered some replacement parts at the end of June. It was business as usual at that point.

Did you call or attempt to message them via the website? The website information link didn't work, and the email address came back as undeliverable. I guess I'll give them a call.

We had a Rennicks rear receiver-mount tandem rack donated a few weeks ago, but that company seems fully defunct. Fortunately, it seems all the parts were included.

I did get in touch with Charlie who explained which "modules" I would need. The price ended up being about double what I got the tandem for.
I did find a used one, though!
