Maybe I’m seeing something that isn’t really there. Then again, maybe I am…
In this AP story reprinted on the website of the local cat box liner we read about a newly announced merger and/or acquisition. It seems that the exclusive manufacturer of the paper used by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to make US currency has agreed to purchase a Kennebunk Maine division of Hallmark that specializes in making stationary. Crane & Co. CEO Stephen DeFalco is quoted as saying the acquisition of William Arthur gives his company “flexibility in the marketplace.”
Very interesting…
Do they foresee a time – possibly in the not too distant future – where the need for their primary product might go into decline? I do. Are they positioning themselves to be able to survive should that happen? That would seem prudent.
