Discussion:
Bankruptcy, Consolidation, & other Effects of the Economic Downturn

I am researching the effect of the economic downturn on equipment dealers and trying to get a handle on (1) the number of dealers who have filed for bankruptcy (2) manufacturers who have filed for bankruptcy, and (3) manufacturer consolidation. Would appreciate any help identifying dealers and manufacturers who have taken any of these steps since January 2008. Thanks.
