Edge pads bought by 3M

The title says it all, 3M now ownes edge pads. I am a little worried about pricing and distribution.

 

Really huh..interesting, can't say I knew that.

 

Was this announced on 3M website or something? I'm curious as to where you found this information.

 

3M bought Dedication to Detail? I'll believe it when I see it.

 

That's the word anyway

 

I read the same thing too.

 

I did too.

 

Lets hope they will stick with the Flex adaptor, and get it to market a little faster.

 

yes sir its true we get the notice from them on Thursday night.

 

hope they keep making edge black wool pads
I use foamed wool and foam Lake country majority of the time

 

wow.... interesting to see what happens with the edge pads... might be nice to see a 3M edge style pad.

 

I wonder if I should stock up on Shmitts now!!!

 

Wow that is interesting to say the most. Im with p1et the only thing I really use from edge is the shimitts also. It will be interesting to see what direction the company takes now.

 

I use edge and schmitts exclusively, wool pads and foam. I wonder is I should stock up now as well

 

That's interesting...I wonder why 3M would purchase Edge? What 3M didn't like the competition? Mind you I know 3M was selling the Edge pads so I wonder if 3M decided to cut the middle man...interesting huh.

 

Nica - Are you saying that 3M pads are made by EDGE? If so, I wasn't aware of this.

 

I think he was talking about distribution

 

maybe they just looking for another reason to raise the prices up...you know how it is...

 

I never knew 3M was selling Edge products... I though both product lines were separate. I thought EDGE = Presta/Malco. Very interesting though. I tried messaging Aaron on MSN but I don't think he was at his computer.

 

Oh no, sorry I should have been more specific what I mean is that I go to the 3M shop here locally and I always see the 3M shop selling the Edge pads.

Yea, that's what I was thinking but at the same time I was thinking that 3M must pay Edge "x" amount and then 3M would have to jack the prices a bit so by 3M buying out Edge that makes sense, more profit and avoid the middle man right..but who knows just thinking and typing it lol
