No wonder Stanelco couldn't reveal the name of the third supplier (Northern Foods), they were in the middle of tendering for the major part of ASDAs ready meals. Obviously no problem naming Youngs Bluecrest and Hitchen Foods. It's going to be an interesting week!

Seroxat - that does make perfect sense. Hadnt thought of that at all. Oh the next few weeks could be interesting indeed...

Well they can't have started the fitting yet as the EGM stated how many machines had been done and we know who the comapanies are for them.

Hence the month and a half phased introduction (2 months from the EGM).

Stanelco wouldnt have known though that NF would be winning the contract though would they? If they didnt, they would NOT have started retrofitting the machines surely.....

don't jump the gun. so far this is all speculation. it looks like it all fits but, until there is confirmation, let's not get carried away. next week should give a few pointers if there is a connection or not , (volume or rns).

Greenseal would have been part of the negotiations I would of thought, if not directly then certainly through the cost prices ASDA would have been asking for!!

I am VERY surprised that ASDA have allowed a relatively junior manager to make such a public statement - or did they ?

"Tony Ruane, Technical Manager, Meal Solutions category at ASDA commented:

'We're looking forward to introducing this new packaging technology to the
products we sell in our stores in the coming weeks and months. It will help us
further reduce the environmental impact of the packaging we use, improve product
quality and reduce waste - a pretty powerful combination.' "


BUT, he certainly will not be making their policy OR investment decisions for them .

You post more on this thread than you do on BPRG the share that say you have, you either have no shares at all because you have no funds or you are under eighteen. It could be that you have no investment skills or you are genuinely on the wrong thread. If it is not the latter then can you please p**s of.

Interesting snippet from Monday's trader's thread press round up - nonewspaper named as source.

"ASDA has been accused of being 'unreasonable' by one of its suppliers after it ended a contract for ready meals without going to mediation - The Telegraph"

who would that be?

Agree with biscuit, Greenseal must have been part of the tendering process for Northern Foods. ASDA are completely satisfied with Greenseal and intend to push this technology into as many applications as possible, there's no way they're going to negotiate a 30 million pound contract and not include Greenseal, and possibly starpol 2000, for which they've publicly stated they expect several hundred machines retrofitted in 10 months.

Interesting snippet from the Telegraph. If the NF announcement means what we all think it does ( and there is no doubt in my mind that it does ), then the message this sends out to other ASDA suppliers will be heard loud and clear. The message is - if you don't embrace this new technology fast, our business will go to those suppliers that will -

This is excellent news and shows why Stanelco had remained so confident of the take-up of greenseal when others were getting nervous.

I agree with Paul that this is likely to involve Starpol. Otherwise why mention "new packaging"?

driver,
You didn`t say if you agreed or disagreed with my observation ?

Niggsy.

You're 100% correct. You are clever.

No a technical manager won't make investment desicions, as he is a technical manager. Surprising that. As a technical manager, he'll probably give a 'technical' view of new packaging to the management.

The under 18 option is possible here driver.......

Thanks Bugz ,

Sorry nigsy I didn't bother reading your post I just keep wondering why you are on this thread.
Yes agree with bugz you are correct, so what, now p**s off.

driver, are you a lorry driver?
You certainly have the bad manners of a very poor one.

Niggsy
Wrong job wrong thread, p**s off,

Wish I could look at the world through the eyes of Niggsy. Bloody hell I'd love it!! Picking up on everything that pleased my eye, and ignoring everyelse.... Please child, up to your room, close the door and leave us quiet folks here to some peace....
