Anyone familiar with Pon Material Handling

I think our company is on the block to be bought by Pon Material Handling. They own 4 or 5 dealerships in the US and they are Swedish or something like that. Has anyone had runins with them and how are they to work for?

I would also take the Swedish Bikini Team in wooden shoes if they agreed to only wear the shoes.

Isn't there a Netherlands Bikini Team? I think I heard mention of them on the Simpson's once.

PON is from the Netherlands not from Sweden. You'll have to settle for wooden shoes.

I already checked it. Pon bought Forklifts, Inc. I'm sure we're next. I hope they send the Swedish Bikini Team over when they buy us out.
