I just found out that Roland has sold its subsidiary company 'Rodgers', renowned manufacturer of church organs, in January 2016.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodgers_Instruments

Rodgers offer high-quality digital church organs, one of them played during the Pope's US visit last year. There also used to be a very nice expander, MX-200, shaped like the XV-2020, with great organ registers and 1000 additional sounds.
Rodgers had been part of the Roland Corporation for many years, it's sad Roland are continuing to abandon subsidiaries like Cakewalk, Roland Europe and now Rodgers...

Rodgers has been purchased by Vandeweert, connected to Johannus, obviously the major church organ manufacturer worldwide.
