Unfortunately for you it would also make sense to ship the dies to a new facility.
If they are publically listed companies you may be able to find some information online regarding the terms of the deal and whether the new owner is obligated to keep your plant running for a certain length of time.
I suggest keep working diligently to maintain your future there if there is one but start looking around for alternatives. If (senior) management people start dissappearing from your existing place that will be a strong indicator it is being phased out.
An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.
