Update on the Inevitable with Fisher & Paykel ...

Submitted by Bermuda Bob on Thu, 02/04/2010 - 5:30pm.

When Fisher & Paykel sold off 20% of themselves to China's Haier, the universal question of how this would affect the Kiwi business was on many minds ... well, now we know !!!  

Here's a link to a Kiwi publication which recently reported, and answered those querries:

Now, this, coupled with the information from Advisor's K-Biz Analysis as of the end of January, showing that neither F/P, nor Haier, are going to K-Biz ... but DCS is going ... makes one wonder if DCS is being showcased much as we do with automobiles in your local showroom !!!

So, what are your impressions of how this will affect our Industry here stateside ???

Amending my Comments ...

Please allow me to amend my comment about Fisher & Paykel not showing @ K-Biz ... after further review of Advisor's K-Biz Analysis, I discovered that I mis-read it and therefore mis-spoke ... 
 
Fisher & Paykel is indeed showing @ K-Biz, as is DCS ... but Haier is not ... 
 
I stand by my other comments ... 
 
Please note that Advisor's K-Biz Analysis is as of the end of January, so things may change for the better or worse ... one never knows !!!
