Stanelco:
Big task ahead in converging intellectual property
(Mar 2006)

Stanelco isnt an easy business to explain in less than 1000 words

Thanks beeb. A pretty comprehensive review considering it's shortness! Lends a lot more weight to the splitting of the RF and Starch businesses theory. Encouraging stuff though.

Reckon any demerger is way down the line. A high tech firm is natural bedfellow with a cash cow, which I reckon applies to the starch business.

I know very little about company tax laws but would there be a tax advantage for the company to split? My appologies, shouldn't swear on BB's, sorry I mentioned the T word. T*X, there, that's better!

I'm not sure a one product company which Starpol would become would be something I'd want to pin my life on. On the other hand SEO's IP would have a long hard struggle ahead to market itself profitably. Their combined forces is a soup to nuts offering for the world's largest retailers. No split please.

Possibly the main worry to some investors is, can the company cope with the impending massive increase in the size of the business and are there too many fingers (or not enough!) in too many pies? Fundamentally they are a packaging company with a research and dev department who are arguably the best in the world. I may seem to have indicated that I am in favour of a splitting of the bussineses; had SEO been responsible for all the manufacturing of their products then yes, I would have been but I agree that the whole gels pretty well together for the moment. I suspect they could do with an increase in staff numbers in the near future!

The US webiste is gradually taking shape and now contains links to packaging co's who are licensed frogpack resellers. The us company eldwood rather disappointingly makes no mention of frogpack or SEO on their webite. the uk ones do to varying degrees some have links back to SEO and frogpack - god help us- but most either mention and show the helicopter test or show pics of frogpack and , one other says - Environmentally Friendly Air Pillows
We are proud to be launching Bio Degradeable and Environmentally Friendly Air Pillows to be used for cushioning and void fill.

do we dare assume that we now have quantum and frogpack actively generating revenue. whilst they are not massive cash generators at least somethings are being delivered whilst we wait for bigger things.

It still takes ages to load a bugger if you have dial up.

Perhaps someone should chuck a quantum powerball into the PR department to give it it's best ever cleanout!

If you click on the frog it crocks.

The jv method of expanding manufacturing capacity I like very much. It retains quality and commercial control over both PI and manufacture whilst using someone else's capital.

Also, whilst pricing must remain pretty fluid in these early days, SEO have the flexibility to take their profit in either form, finished product margin or licence fee. Perhaps different customers require different pricing mixes.

Once these two elements split, they may well end up competing with each other for the market-available profit element of the combined business. If the material side one, cashflow for further IP development would be stifeld and SEO would soon die. If the IP side one, the ability to generate profitable capacity in material might suffer.

yes i know the site is still cack and slow even on broadband, but it is interesting to see there are resellers who are promoting frogpack on their own websites and presumably manuafactring and selling it.

http://www.networkpack.co.uk
http://www.lightningpackaging.co.uk/products/new.lasso

etc etc


Interestingly they also say that if you want to become a reseller pls contact seo. So the idea that the website is not their shop window is wrong as they clearly hope to attract other rellers of frogpack via the website. If that is the case MAKE THE LINKS WORK......

sd
Yes, well said, and for once competition would not be healthy, I agree with you!

Driver,
not only does the frog croak, the bird sings: I hope the little plop that the names make when they fall in the water is not indicative of SEO's future. Nah, that won't happen!

You must be the only one with dial up these days!!

The oily one

I havent, I was suggesting that all the companies that are interested in SEOs products a lot of them will still have dial up W/Mart for one as barney well knows.

driver I was not suggesting that walmart use dial up, just pointing out that there are resellers of frogpack actively marketing it, which I for one have never seen before.

still think the site is cack

driver: I am glad that it was laughter that you heard from that posterior! Testing the 14p support level again. Still we have evil knievil onside; is that a good thing I ask, given that he is postulating (not posteriorating) a new market crash in 2006.
