This is the lesson to be learned from this month's news.

Latium's bid for Ultraframe comes after months of preparation. Latium seems to have the expertise and the synergies that will make the most out of Ultframe's potential.

Despite having a product called "Synerjy", Synseal's decision to enter the cellular foam market has yielded none, and the Permacell Finesse business has been closed, with job losses. It's telling that Synseal wasn't able to sell PFL on, although Freefoam has since bought the tooling from the administrator.

Acquisitions might be a rarified activity, but most in business are continually on the lookout for new products and market areas to tap into. I hope you find Glass Age a useful source for ideas - but do your homework first.
