Danaher is a good pick. Top notch company. They supply us many components and I've never heard a complaint.


If you want a little more excitement, not that we need it, you maybe would like to take a look at a small company Allied Motion. Danaher has grown primary by smart acquisitions of top notch related components and they now present themselves as a one stop shop.

When Danaher started this process they were lead by Richard Warzala who really was responsible for putting the gameplan together. He retired years ago and started Allied Motion. AMOT is a tiny operation in compared to DHR but he knows what he's doing. I know many of the AMOT people and they are impressive.

DHR does look like a solid company, but I'm not an expert in their field, or any field, lol. Dew, does Abbot buying St.Jude give you thoughts and hopes of DHR being bought?

The answer to your question at D&M's that I can't answer there except on happy hour is, sort of, depending on her song.
