Has the relationship with sears/wp..come to an end?

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

I would say a foreign manufacturer would snap up the Kenmore name pretty fast given that Whirlpool would very likely have problems obtaining it given their 3/5 market share now and what other company would want it? Alliance? Hardly. General Electric? They don't even want their own appliance division. That leaves Electrolux of Sweden and the Asian brands.
 
Alliance

Well, since Alliance only make laundry equipment, they wouldn't be a good fit for the Kenmore name. Other than Samsung or LG, I cannot think of anyone else that might want it.

As someone mentioned and I have to agree Whirlpool has positioned itself in the marketplace that is does not need to rely on Sears anymore. Rumor has it Whirlpool owns a good stake in Lowe's and other retailers.

Lucky-Gold Star (LG) as it used to be known in this country and the Sears issue is probably all about the $$$...

Whirlpool just recently won it's long court battle with LG over the refrigerator ice maker/dispenser issue.

Whirlpool Corporation is by far an undervalued company and a choice stock buy.
 
I mean if WP lost the contract to LG for washers,( who would have thought) i guess the dishwashers are going too. What a shame! I know money is a major factor, but,..Hey, nothing personal, it's just business. Whatever.
 
Now,now,simmer down-----

---Not that it really matters but,LG came into the business way before they were where they are today. I was told that L.G.was making numerous components and other electronic parts being used in many different American made appliances for decades before they gobbled up many different Asian/Korean brands that were going belly up in the late 80's.They reformed and twigged them using many different engineers from those bought brands and incorporated them all as one,Lucky Goldstar(L.G.).IMHP American made appliances have been losing in their struggle to afford keeping American workers busy.The cost of them paying out to retired emplyees' pention and the high cost of health coverage has skyrocketed.Union dues,open legal cases on employee workman's compensation,and work related injories have also added to the dismisal of American based appliance manufacturer's factories. Every one of whom have shut down their facilities here and gone to outside countries,employing their workers who will work dilligently for a lot less and meet the needs of their consumers with fewer strikes and less bennifits.It's the manufacturer's fault,if anyone's,that American brands are failing now.Not L.G's,not Samsung's and not Haire's.Not that I'm into being old fashion but pride always comes before the fall.
