Default how do you pronounce Grob?

I've had a look at Grob's web site. The b at the end
of the word is just an ordinary b and there is no umlaut
on the o.
Therefore you should pronounce Grob almost exactly
as you would in English, with a short 'o' sound. It
is not Grobe or Gross!

The old Grob Twin Astir acquired the nickname of 'The
Concrete Swan' in the UK.
