Has anyone heard about a possible merger between Brundage and Pumpco?

good rumor

7-01-07

well is it true??

      I would be surprised.  I had a call from local Pumpco salesman last week asking if Id be interested in selling out. Was told owner had meeting it area with others scheduled (i presume for similiar reasons, I wasn't interested.) so that leads me to think there not ready to sell.  ONLY MY UN-KNOWING NOT A INSIDER OPINION THOUGH..

Just think of all the money the pump manufacture would save on paint

As long as I remember he was a self made man,gung ho.Going back to the days of "Concrete Pumping Inc" always  focused.I would be supprised,but the sky is falling.

Ray-Roy,

It is really a who cares sort of deal. The big fish always have and always will eat the smaller fish. Orange yellow green or blue.

I work for pumco and I doubt Mr Ainsworth would sell, we seem to be very happy, BB however has tried for years to corner the market buying out the little guys, setting the price, both these companys keep the market compititive and to say the least intresting. I have seen over the years operators go back and forth between the two companys,each operator brings forth new rumors from both companys.Remember each company both started out as little guys, someday  other little guy out will be as big as they are.

I heard Cemex is buying out both of them.

Elvis is going to be South eastern manager and florida will Unionize before the end of the year 

i thought Cemex owned both of them and Elvis owned Cemex

At least someone answered the help wanted ad on page 13.

It would be a good idea you would have all the non pumpers together not saying they cant pump owners dont they have a few good operators they train a few and the pump goes on the customer gets fuck in the end and the operator next except for the guys with the head up the tunnel

If you sell out tell your customers you have no controle

Just think if all the true old and new dedicated operators got together and formed a union. I meen not a rinky dink union ,pump operators of the U.S.A. WE Have ONE union.  DUES  Lets Vote on that The owners need an operator  lets talk ,now is the time to do it .They got their credit stretched WHY Not PUMP OPERATORS UNION U.S.A. 1  All 51 states. we could do some shit. Just like the back room of an owner RUSTY

Gee i was there les got his feet blown off . Mr o Took over his dads buisness and got into puping with Dale Bone And Roger Ferris MONEY TALKS NOW THE OPERATORS

Get some sleep!

What in the world are you talking about?

Lock your self in your room

I agree BOB--sounds like a few to many budweisers talking.

I heard rumors of the merger while I was down south, A couple of operators mentioned it.
