Ashland Inc. (ASH)

[PresidentCamacho]

the acquisition of hercules opened ashland up to a whole massive opportunity regarding upsells.

ashland is more of a commodities chenical provider. hercules has relationships with companies who don't use ashland for the commodity chemical supply. the supply lines exist anyway, and the sales forces are on site...

it's a serious opportunity for ashland to increase sales...a very smart move by ashland to do the acquisition.

i don't know why so many people look at the deal poorly...
