I'm not sure if anyone has an answer to this question, but it's been over 4 years since MTH announced that Mike Wolf was retiring and that mth was "closing." But seeing how I constantly get emails from them everyday about new products I'm just surprised that they haven't gone back to putting everything in one catalog again similar to Atlas. Especially since they even catalog new products on their website, but only in text form with only item numbers and links.

I just find the situation a bit odd and was wondering if there was any official reason or statement that I missed about it post 2022 or so when MTH got back on its feet a bit.

Instead of offering items that may or may not get orders in a catalog, MTH now primarily makes custom runs for dealers who take the risk on the product selling.   Catalogs are expensive to produce and distribute.  Sometimes items in the catalog never got orders.  Now, lower overhead costs and product made is guaranteed to sell to the dealer offering the custom run.

I also imagine Mike Wolf has enjoyed semi-retirement and smaller scale operation with only guaranteed orders.
