    And today what a surprise;
    New hotshot Mercers, the Slicer people,seem happy to get rid of a [gunna] CEO [I am gunna do this I am gunna do that]and replace him will a board member, who is also a Murray & Co person,yet the departing CEO stays on the board,and Tobin [who can't return phone calls] does not leave as promised,but appears to have been promoted.!!??
    Is this the backroom work of Milford Asset? management???? or is it some company taking the piss??
    All the time this disaster has been unfolding, people in the stainless steel frabricating sector, have been going gangbusters, supplying their wares to the wine industry and the milk production sector.
    Has anyone any ideas as to why the company have missed out on the S S fabricating sector what with the dairy, restaurant, fast food and hospital industries , I would have thought that a company with as long a history as Mercers have would have kept their commercial advantage re manufacturing, surely they cannot be that incompantant that they have let that slip between their fingers.

    When management have the world to conquer with their S-Clave Slicer,and new state of the art medical sterilization units,why waste their time with profitable local work??? [Note Tobin is too busy to return phone calls].
    Plus, I think local more nimble businesses with lower overheads have been able to under cut them.I think they did do the huge big drier at the new Darfield Milk factory for Fonterra.
    Incompetence.!? Well history does appear to be on their side.

    I think the board may have been be asking the same question.
    From memory approx. $800,000.
    Go to NZX and enter MGL and announcements and read their annual report and presentations.[I can't bring myself to.]
    Bit too big to fit on the kitchen bench.! lol.

    Done all that and went back to the issue in 2010 @ .05 so imo there could be another one if this trend keeps up
