I have spoken with Ray Sharp CEO of Cookson a few times in the last year. He like virtually all other CEO�s has had to make very tough choices in business. I do not think I agree with Dave F�s comments, I think a multiple product company can do ver

I believe that the reason Dover did not sell Dek is not so much based on its actual profitability but because the profits it does make are stable. I think Dek makes about 60% or its revenue on stencils and other consumables that are still in demand r

I agree Craig and I'm also not convinced DEK is really doing that well. I know they sell a ton of printers into Asia at around a 30%-40% discount to what they sell them anywhere else. A classic case of grabbing market share at the expense of profitab

I certainly would not buy off any product from a manufacturer that is for sale. Imagine they have known they were going to do this for some time now and all of the cost cutting and apathy that is occuring at this time does not bode well for their cus

The reason I heard is that Dover will go for the mid -90:s popular expression "core business". They will sell out UIC and everything, except DEK. (This is correct Russ). UIC and many others of them still make profit but not as good as DEK. This how

Rick, I think Autosplice and Berg did that but of course, it was a little before my time. But the comparison is the same as what HP does with injet printers and the ink cartridges which for some reason made me think of a screen printer someone made t
