EFCO Sale Update II

This posted late last night...

Efco shut down at 11:00 p.m.Friday August 17th to start inventory .
Employees still do not know new owners

12:08 AM

I would say the odds via percentage on the owners is:
Pella 98%
Kawneer (Alcoa) 1%
Someone totally stunning 1%

Seriously all indications show Pella making the deal... and with a mid month inventory, I guess this deal is about to go down.

Thanks to everyone for the tips on this one....

NOTE- I have been messing around with a new look.... hopefully it works....

impressive new look ... good move Maximus!

Pella's purchase is interesting in that they are weak when it comes to calling on the commercial architectural community; guess buying EFCO provides them more expertise in this arena. If I were an EFCO employee I'd much rather have Pella as the parent company b/c they treat their employees great and are surely more financially stable then EFCO has been - which is also good for suppliers & customers.

Warning: working for Pella may lead to serious brain-washing, but it could be worse.
