Acquisition Investigation: VIKG, has been announcing a major acquisition for about three months now, and with the conference call on Monday, the company expected the deal to be completed by April! With some investigation from SI members we have come up with: VonRoll. Check them out at vonroll.ch. Here is some comments: The East Liverpool, Ohio site has had its ownership in question for quite some time ('92). (Multiple corporate owners holding varying %'s) A WTI/Von Roll release on 12-97, seemed to clear things up. vonrollwti.com Maybe this cleared the path for a new owner to step in? Von Roll's division, Inova, has sites in the identical locations referenced in the VIKG release: vonroll.ch biz.yahoo.com The pieces fit incredibly well. We shall see. Can anyone else comment on this possible acquisition?
