Week in Review :

Bossard made the headlines last week with their CHF 200 millions takeover of KVT fastening division. We read about Bossard a couple of weeks ago when Bossard sold Bossard Metrics USA to Lindstrom. Traveling Salesman wrote their story in a post this week. Those 2 moves are certainly part of bigger re-organisation, and we wait for comments from the market and from Dave Dean, the CEO of Bossard.
