Re: Re: [OT] Schneider Buys Clipsal

[Frank Mc Alinden <fmcalind@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Shane
The UK guys probably wont know that PDL is a NewZealand based major
electical accessory manufacterer..I believe they also have some Home
Automation products.....Yes it looks like Schneider have the Oz/Kiwi market
sown up.....The only other major manufacterer left is HPM ....

This buy out isn't good for us downunder I expect, since Schneider also
own the other big electrical supplier PDL - as good a monopoly as you
can get it would appear.
