This could be a great thing. More heads to think about new products and research but again it can go downhill.

I hope everything goes well, and I think it will because I know Mr. Barry Meguiar won't destroy this legendary company

I wish the two companies all the luck in the world. Whatever 3M paid for MEGS they got a deal! The intellectual property alone is worth Billions!

My questions:

- Is Megs to remain an independent operating entity?
- Will Megs chemists, admin/sales/support staff all join 3M?
- What of the two product lines? Currently, 3M and Megs both serve the enthusiast/consumer markets. However, looking at retail store shelves Megs seems to have slightly more presence.
- Will we get re-badged 3M product at retail?

3M is a HUGE company...isn't it going to be pretty hard to keep Megs from getting lost?

I really do hope everything goes well. I'd hate to see a good thing change after so many years.

Seen this type of thing as well. Dads company, Coast, got bought out by Corporate(Anheauser Busch) who are now getting bought by Inbev. Seems that mergers or partnerships are common nowdays.

Only time will tell. I hope this is as great as it sounds. I hope we do not get lost in the corporate shuffle.

Hope this merger is better then my employer USF holland getting bought up by Yrcw (Yellow Frieght)a coulpe of years ago. We went from a small friendly operation to a its all about the bottom line fiasco. We will all keep our fingers crossed for only the best to happen.

I just hope the bean counters leave everything alone and know they have a good thing with Meguiar's!

I worked for a small company with a wordwide presence. Four years ago one of the largest companies in the world bought us. We were told through the entire process how great this would be for us... I'm still waiting
