nnah, they already own pPg soo…
lol :lol1
Expect one of the three, PPG, BASF or Akzo Nobel
SPI 👿
Unless they have some secret products that we don’t know about or the rights to something very popular I can’t see any of the big guys buying it. They would rather see it die and go away (less competition) than to spend the money to buy it and disolve it. So unless there are factories and or distribution centers that are in key places would be the only reason they would even consider it.
whats the most popular Product Line Dupont makes?
maybe ITW will buy it they own everything else haha.
Valspar has an interest

Dupont is still very profitable, it will not die. All of the big guys want it. Think of it this way, Dupont and PPG share the largest market share in North America. They flop back and forth on whose bigger. Akzo comes in third. Whoever buys Dupont will become the largest by far. Nobody will buy them for technology, only market share. Although Spies and Standox would be nice for any of them to have.
Dupont will not totally be out of the game either, they still produce some raw materials that all of them use.
I am not sure the FTC would even let PPG buy Dupont as it would control too much of the market.

This may be the best option for Akzo, PPG and BASF, I’m sure Valspar will do a good job of killing the Dupont brand and it would benefit all! :rofl
Rumor mill has it that 3M has interest.
