Talk:Glidden (paints)

SCM
Copied from the Smith Corona article: In 1967 SCM merged with The Glidden paint company. Glidden was reorganized as the Glidden-Durkee division of SCM. One reason for this merger was that Glidden saw SCM's bid as a "White Knight" bid in preference to an alternative offer from Greatamerica Corporation in Dallas, Texas and General Anniline & Film of New York. In its turn, the acquisition put the (now much larger) SCM itself beyond the reach of any potential hostile bidders of the time. It was also hoped that Glidden's research into paper coatings would be useful in SCM's copier business. Also: "SCM Metal Products, Inc.", was owned by OM Group, Inc., Cleveland, OH until 2003 when it was acquired by Höganäs AB and merged with its "Coldstream Division" (formerly the metal powder manufacturer "Coldstream SA" of Ath, Belgium). --BjKa (talk) 14:02, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
