3M to Purchase Meguiars??

I wonder what will come of this:
www.marketwatch.com:shead: Saw this on another board.

 

That would be one hell of a merger. Meg's & 3M together could mean world domination in the detailing business.

 

wow, that's some news right there

 

wow...

 

time to buy stock in 3M!

 

sooo is this a good thing or a bad thing lol....

 

hmmmmmm

 

I heard 3M was purchase Edge too.

 

Soon Menzerna? hehe

 

I hope this merger is for the best. I'm concerned how this merger will affect pricing and availability.

 

I am sure the prices will go up.

 

3M is expensive...it is good but very expensive. I really like Meguiar's ... I am pretty sure this will happen, but dang. That is going to be a gross amount of R&D money. Edge+3M+Meguiar's = the best of the best products.

 

Shocking news to say the least...

 

:sheep: what gives, okay something is definetly up with 3M.

I mean purchasing Edge is one thing but purchasing Meguiar's is something else..there has to be something drivign 3M to do this.

You know, instead of 3M purhcasing all these other companys how about they start talking to thre 3M UK side and get us Canadian/Americans some of the goods from the UK...just my opinion :whistle:

 

Say goodbye to $15.00 for a pint of Meguiar's polish; say hello to $40.00 a pint.

 

Isn't that some kind of monopoly issue right there? If it is, then this will be something really, and I mean really, interesting to keep an eye on :waiting:

 

Whats strange too me is that you have 2 large co. with 2 different approaches how to get product out to the market and of course price levels. How that effects us,remains to be seen. Why do i feel prices will escalate. As good as there products are, if they jack up there prices too much, they'll be a wave of people looking for the other alternatives, which there is.

 

This can only be a good thing for Meguiars, there chemical products have definitely not improved over the years, quite the opposite. Maybe they will start making nice wax and sealant products again. 3M products rock.

 

3M + Meguiars = 4M

 

haha CG is next
