With the latest meetings last week, and the new partnership that EI and MATW are sharing with the Vatican line. I would like to think that IF MATW were interested, EI would deal with MATW rather than Waterloo. One thing is certain Waterloo has UNDERperformed, on the MLB licenses for sure. I would like to see Waterloo kick it up, or MATW just take over. I have confidence in the #2 casket producer and once again another casket that Batesville can NOT sell.

Vatican line due up here in this upcoming 3rd quarter. I am looking forward to the MATW conf call after this, just so they can update us on this new casket line. Also does MATW deal with candle production at all? I know they have several different divisions with bronze and markers, what about religious candles. Thanks if you have any info. How many Vatican caskets you expect them to sell? Also do we know is the Star Trek urn is being sold yet via MATW? We know it is a new product, I would love to see an update.
