In February I started receiving emails from a new company that was also taken over by this new company. Their style of communicating is very different (Hey there...) and they have a very mediocre rating on the blue board with a short history of 2 years only. I mailed them back twice, once asking for more details about the announced upcoming project, and the second time with the request to be removed from their mailing list for the project, but I never got any reply.
If you asked to be removed from their mailing list, they perhaps understood that you no longer wanted any contact from them. That might explain the absence of reply.

Should I assume that this new company is held by the same working standards and payment terms?
The only way to find out is to ask them.

Personally, I find it unsettling and a bit offending - reflecting poor management and having little regard for their interface with the rest of the world.
If you are unsettled and offended, consider their management is poor and that they lack regard, these are probably not people you will be happy working with.

To me, such a take-over should start with an introductory email to everyone (i.e. all mailing lists), explaining what is happening and how things will be done.
Another sign that you do not appreciate the way they work, perhaps another sign you should have them in the rear-view mirror.
