    well that certainly is big news

    "Enhances Exposure to Attractive, High-Growth End-Markets Across Mission-Critical Applications, Including HVAC, Data
    Centers and Related Infrastructure Buildout"

    seeing this reminded me of something..

    Not to get to far off the topic but everyone needs to be aware, there is a pending shortage from multiple manufacturers due to the data center projects going on. domestic black malleable fittings, and expansion tanks have already been impacted. we have to order these currently 6 months or more out. keep an eye on your stock.

    Seems like any time you have a good company swallowed up by a conglomerate thing start to fall through the cracks

    customer service falls off

    delivery falls off etc etc.

    And I am sure the people at Taco have been told things will remain as usual and they believe it will stay the same.

    But then the bean counter take over. A little snip here and there to cut this and trim that and employes are pushed into other areas and have to take on multiple tasks maybe with different equipment and the focus is lost little by little.

    good for Johnny and his family for cashing in. A gentleman and pioneer in the industry gets his reward.
