Ed,
I just copied the following from one of the newswires. So far I get the feeling that publicity is about as you described it-- not too important too them, since only one place so far out of four web sites I usually look to for news carried the story.

programs which resulted in annual savings in excess of $2 million.
-- Designed over 100 new laundries for hotels, hospitals,
prisons and other commercial laundry operations.

laundry facilities for hotel chains which have multiple locations

which can be retrofitted to any existing laundry equipment. Over
20 such systems have already been designed and installed.

So far no significant reaction from the market. Maybe another president/chief along side of the worker bees can help things go faster. Will a taller company be better? Time will tell. In this case a little more management experience can't hurt, but do they need another president? |
