Drodzy Państwo,
Jak Państwo napewno już słyszeli, w poniedziałek 15 listopada ogłosiliśmy, że firma Bucyrus osiągnęła porozumienie w sprawie jej przejęcia przez
firmę Caterpillarczołowego producenta urządzeń budowlanych i górniczych, silników wysokoprężnych i silników na gaz ziemny oraz przemysłowych turbin gazowych.
Jak Państwu wiadomo Bucyrus dysponuje obecnie najszerszą i najbogatszą ofertą w zakresie produktów na potrzeby
górnictwa odkrywkowego i podziemnego, zajmuje pozycję lidera na tym rynku i posiada doskonałą markę. Firma Caterpillar oczywiście uznaje te zalety i zamierza bazować na firmie Bucyrus jako platformie dla dalszego
rozwoju w światowym przemyśle urządzeń górniczych. Firma Caterpillar planuje założyć międzynarodową siedzibę w Milwaukee oraz zachować markę Bucyrus w przypadku najważniejszych
produktów naszej firmy.
Cieszymy się z możliwości połączenia sił z tak wysokiej klasy
międzynarodową firmą jaką jest Caterpillar, a dzisiejszy komunikat stanowi dopiero pierwszy etap w całym procesie. Na chwilę obecną nasza działalność pozostaje bez zmian. Finalizacja transakcji
zajmie kilka miesięcy i w tym czasie nie będzie żadnych zmian dotyczących naszych zamówień. Tak jak do tej pory, będziemy nadal polegać na Państwu jako naszych cenionych dostawcach.
Jeśli będą mieli Państwo jakieś pytania w związku z niniejszym komunikatem, zachęcamy do kontaktu z
właściwym przedstawicielem Bucyrus. Cenimy sobie Państwa usługi.
Dziękujemy za Wasze nieustające wsparcie.
Z poważaniem,
Timothy W. Sullivan
