HELLO ALL. PENTAGON PROTECTION HAS BEEN STEADILY ON THE UP OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS. FROM 4ISH TO 5p. BOUGHT AS A SPEC BUY. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA IF THE CURRENT TREND IS DUE TO SOME NEWS THAT I HAVE MISSED OUT ON OR IS THIS JUST A FLASH IN THE PAN.

I understand that pentagon may face "challenges" because of potential new EC legislation that will have a dramatic impact on the density of tinting allowed for car windows. It is not yet known if the legislation will go thru, but seems likely at this stage and would be implemented in the UK.

I understand that Pentagon and their franchised dealers have a big stake in the car window tinting industry and would be adversely impacted by this - if it happens.

All this IMHO, WDIK, PDYOR

FAIR CALL CAMI D. ALTHOUGH THE STRENGTH OF THE TINTING WILL BE REGULATED WITH THE NEW LEGISLATION ( WICH I FEEL WILL GO THROUGH. IMO )IT DOSN'T DETRACT FROM THE PURPOSE OF THEIR MAIN DRIVE BEING SUPAGLASS. I AM THINKING THERE WILL STILL BE A GREAT DEMAND FOR TINTED WINDOWS REGARDLESS. WITH POLICE AND FIRE SERVICES INSTALLING SUPAGLASS ALONG WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES RECOGNISING THIS PRODUCT FOR ALL ITS WORTH. ADD THAT TO THE CAR MANUFACTURES NOW INSTALLING IT AS EXTRAS. THE POTENTIAL FOR GROWTH IS THERE. MAYBE. DYOR AS ALLWAYS.

Danny,

in talking to one of Pentagon's most successful franchisees, he believes that the new legislation will virtually wipe out the post-manfucture car window tinting market, but wdik. I understand that supaglass is a good product and that more attention will now be paid to that. It will take dealers and franchisees time to adapt. In the meantime, I think you're right and that Pentagon itself will be focusing on the manufacturers and emergency services (the latter is a limited marketplace - good for a one off). But this is all IMHO (only).
