Basically they are now tied to 1 single company for all packing applications.<BR/><BR/>Is it a mutually exclusive deal in that Dupont cant go elsewhere as well?<BR/><BR/>I noticed no terms have been made public so I'm assuming this wasn't a 'cash reason' for the deal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191890.post-1172040599363328452007-02-21T01:49:00.000-05:002007-02-21T01:49:00.000-05:00Congratulations ScanBuy.

To think that DuPont was aware of NEOM from their paint business and still chose ScanBuy says a lot about both companies.<BR/><BR/>Good things about Scanbuy. Rejection of NEOM's 'qode'. <BR/><BR/>With the recent events in this sector I have to come to the conclusion that 'qode' isn't ready as a product or is seriously lacking function, reliability, or maybe a host of other things. All just my humble opinion.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations to ScanBuy. I'd love to be kept updated about an IPO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
