Hoop - means you have to take the long term view eh? And ride out the ups and downs along the way
Like you find it impressive that they appear to be willing to change and not be left behind .... but somehow I think this is good test for the current mantra of the markets (ie greedy insto's) demanding growth every quarter versus the imperative of providing a sustainable future for all of us. I fear both can't happen at the same time
Good post

Hoop says "Hmmmm...OK anyone out there still want to invest long term in a wallpaper company or paint Company."
No reason why you shouldn't as long as that wallpaper or paint company thinks about the future like Corning .... and maybe have to face up to the fact that 'paint' might not be like it is now (isn't that much different from what was used in the Cistern Chapel anyway) and need to think more like a coatings company (whatever that might mean in the future)

Yes that was a silly Hmmmm quote wasn't it...I was thinking of the old traditional companies set in their ways and will eventually be forced to change ....I wonder if Guthrie Bowron would be selling this stuff this year..
true...Actually there is paint invented that acts as solar cells
also OLED wallpaper due to be released for sale this year

Hoop - PPG are one of the largest paint (coatings) in the world while still doing their bit with glass (after all it is Pittsburg Plate Glass Co)
They have a JV with Pleotint with some new technology (themrochromatic interactive glass) thats highly regarded
http://www.pleotint.com/
Can't imagine Guthrie Bowron selling this. I was in their new Auckland store the other day and asked why were they selling candles of all things. We are targeting the upmarket / yuppie homeowner they said but I had to tell them jeez not even ECOYA candles - that's what those with too much money want
Why did you pick on Guthrie Bowron as an example of an 'old traditional companies set in their ways' - love to know
