Top Grade Construction Acquisition by Goodfellow Bros., Inc. Promises New Growth Potential Throughout the Northwest

October 17, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

As a Goodfellow Bros. Company, Top Grade Construction Gains More Resources, Increased Bonding Capacity, and Access to New Markets.

LIVERMORE, Calif. – October 17, 2012 — Top Grade Construction, Inc., a premier general engineering contractor, and Goodfellow Bros., Inc., a fourth-generation, family-owned construction firm with headquarters in Hawaii and Washington, today announced completion of an acquisition agreement under which Top Grade Construction will operate as a Goodfellow Bros. Company. With the acquisition by Goodfellow Bros., Top Grade Construction will be able to expand its operation using Goodfellow equipment and fiscal resources, and Goodfellow Bros. will further strengthen its Pacific Northwest presence by leveraging Top Grade’s highly skilled employee base and excellent reputation in the California marketplace.

Under the terms of the acquisition, Top Grade’s daily operations will remain unaffected. The company will continue to operate as Top Grade Construction, a Goodfellow Bros. Company, with headquarters in Livermore, California. However, Top Grade will be able to take advantage of Goodfellow Bros. resources, including staff, equipment, and a proven design-build support team, and Top Grade will have increased bonding capacity due to Goodfellow Bros., Inc.’s financial strength. At the same time, Goodfellow Bros. will be able to gain access to the California construction market without having to start from the ground up.

“We felt the opportunity to work with the team at Top Grade Construction was quite attractive when it became evident that they have exactly what we were looking for – an exceptional group of high-performing employees, a respected name with strong relationships in the communities in which they live and work, and most importantly, similar values and corporate cultures,” said Steve Goodfellow, CEO of Goodfellow Bros.

“What makes this partnership so perfect is the cultural alignment between our two organizations,” said Bill Gates, founder of Top Grade Construction. “We are both family-owned firms with a commitment to providing superior customer service. And we are committed to our most dedicated asset – our people. Each company also is well-diversified in both public and private works, and maintains close client relationships.”

Goodfellow Bros. has been interested in the California market for some time, but the mature nature of the California construction market made expansion challenging. In addition, Goodfellow and Top Grade recognize the need for strong client relationships, and both companies can build on those relationships in their respective markets. The firms also share much of the same expertise in three-dimensional modeling and the use of Global Positioning systems. The two companies will be able to compete more effectively, using economies of scale to provide lower cost/higher quality bids for their clients.

Goodfellow Bros., Inc. is a family-owned construction firm with more than 100 office and supervisory employees and 450 union trade employees and operates in Canada, Washington, Oregon, and throughout the Hawaiian Islands. Top Grade Construction has more than 80 full-time office and supervisory staff and more than 300 union trade employees, with headquarters in Livermore and offices in Lodi, California.

Following the acquisition, the Top Grade executive team will remain largely unchanged. Brian Gates will remain as Executive Vice President; John Copriviza as Vice President, Estimating; Frank Williams as Vice President, Field Operations; and Scott Blaine as CFO. President and CEO Bill Gates will assume a consulting capacity, assisting in customer development and complex projects. Steve Goodfellow will assume the role of CEO and Chad Goodfellow as President.

Established in 1921 in Wenatchee, Washington, Goodfellow Bros. is a fourth-generation, family-owned business with more than 90 years in the construction industry. The company has a reputation for professionalism and integrity that reflects its longstanding commitment to the individuals, businesses and resources of the communities in which they live and work.

NanoMarkets Issues Latest Report on Materials for OLED Lighting Applications

October 16, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

NanoMarkets today announced the release of its report titled “OLED Lighting Materials Market Forecast 2013.” In this new report, NanoMarkets analyzes the opportunities for OLED lighting materials suppliers over the next eight years.

Glen Allen, Virginia – October 15, 2012 — Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced the release of its report titled “OLED Lighting Materials Market Forecast 2013.” In this new report, NanoMarkets analyzes the opportunities for OLED lighting materials suppliers over the next eight years. The report estimates that the total market for materials and technologies used in OLED lighting markets will surpass $1.3 billion (USD) by the year 2018. Additional details about the report are available at: http://www.nanomarkets.net/index.php/market_reports/report/oled_lighting_materials_market_forecast_2013.

About the Report:
Within the report NanoMarkets also examines the product development and marketing strategies of the major players in the OLED lighting materials sector, including UDC, Novaled, BASF, DuPont Displays, Merck/EMD, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, and others. The report indicates which firms are the “companies to watch” and which will be the likely winners and losers in the OLED materials space.

The report also contains detailed, eight-year forecasts for the materials used for OLED lighting applications, in both value ($ millions) and volume (kg or area of material) terms, broken out by product type and application.

OLED materials covered include:

– Emissive Layer Materials — Emitters and Hosts
– Electron and/or Hole Injection, Blocking, and Transport Materials
– Electrodes – Anodes and Cathodes
– Encapsulation Technologies, and
– Substrates – Rigid glass, flexible glass, plastics, and metal foils

The report also breaks out the core, functional OLED materials (emitters, etc.) by deposition method:

– Vapor-Deposited Small Molecules
– Solution-Processable Small Molecules, and
– Polymeric Materials

OLED lighting application sectors covered are:

General Illumination – Residential and Commercial
Specialty OLED Lighting, and
Vehicular OLED Lighting

From the Report:
The past year has brought big changes to the OLED lighting market. Pioneering OLED lighting firms are now, finally, poised to move beyond luxury luminaires and designer kits and into larger, general illumination applications. As the industry moves out of its infancy, these new general illumination applications will not only increase the number of OLED lighting panels sold, but will also demand larger panel sizes, thereby greatly increasing the total OLED materials needs.

With these trends, OLED lighting will eventually emerge as the largest addressable market for OLED materials, eclipsing even that of OLED displays, and materials suppliers will soon be able to point to tangible, commercial OLED lighting products, and to growth projections with much more confidence than in the past.

However, the commercial momentum will only be sustained if materials suppliers can help to close the remaining technology related to improved OLED lighting efficiency, lifetime, and total cost of ownership, all of which are needed to enable the fabrication of low-cost, large-area, long-lifetime panels.

NanoMarkets believes that the next three or four years will be critical for manufacturing and market development in advance of real growth, which will start to occur in about 2015 – 2016. During this period, materials suppliers to the OLED lighting industry can carve out competitive advantages in the following areas: materials that simultaneously increase efficiency and provide longer lifetimes, better encapsulation and substrate technologies that boost panel lifetime and expand design capabilities, and high performance solution-processable materials that enable low-cost/large-area manufacturing.

About NanoMarkets:
NanoMarkets tracks and analyzes emerging market opportunities in solid-state lighting, energy, electronics and other markets created by developments in advanced materials. The firm is a recognized leader in industry analysis and forecasts of this kind and has been covering the OLED and OLED materials space for more than six years.

AAA welcomes news that Investors are interested in Tasmania Plantations

October 12, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

AAA, an alternative investment advocacy group, has announced that it is welcoming the news of potential buyers for plantations owned by a collapsed forestry firm in Tasmania.

Boston, MA, USA, October 12, 2012 — Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA), an alternative investment advocacy group, has announced that it is welcoming the news of potential buyers for plantations owned by a collapsed forestry firm in Tasmania.

The 100,000 hectares of plantation space is thought to still be managed by the insolvent Tasmanian firm, called Gunns. The firm entered administration in late September and potential buyers for the plantation land, which could be very lucrative and attractive to investors, are being looked into by receiver KordaMentha.

There is already interest from clients of the New Forests investment fund in Sydney, manager David Brand has claimed. Brand stated that the price of the plantation land is still unclear, however, with prices ranging from a few hundreds Australian dollars to as much as A$8,0000 per hectare being mentioned.

He added that the value of the plantation that will be manageable under the new certification from the forestry Stewardship Council, which shows that the plantations are managed sustainably.

AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson, said that the news that FSC-certified plantations are more attractive and possibly more valuable than forests that are not managed sustainably is great news for the environment. “Not only is it good news from an environmental perspective, but it also means that sustainable management may become increasingly popular in countries like Brazil, where the future of the local communities can rely on the industry.”

The government of Tasmania is, in the meantime, hoping that an investor from china may pay up to A$2.3 billion for the pulp mill that was owned by Gunns.

The popularity of sustainable forestry as an alternative investment choice is growing all the time, claims AAA, which supports plantation projects like the ones operated by Greenwood Management in Brazil. These projects provide alternative timber products to those produced using native forests, which are vulnerable and extremely valuable from a ecological point of view.

Safeguarding Sustainable Forestry is Vital, claims FRA

October 11, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

A recent article in The Guardian’s blog by Peter Holmgren, director general for the Center for International Forestry Research, has been warmly welcomed by FRA for providing some useful ideas on how we can further promote sustainable forestry.

Seattle, United States, October 11, 2012 — A recent article in The Guardian’s blog by Peter Holmgren, director general for the Center for International Forestry Research, has been warmly welcomed by Forestry Research Associates for providing some useful ideas on how we can further promote sustainable forestry.

Mr Holmgren cited the results of a study by his organization, which recently found that people living near forests rely on forest income for a fifth of their total household income, on average. “This research illustrate how incredibly important the forestry industry is for those living in these regions,” explained FRA’s analysis partner, Peter Collins.

He added, “Holmgren points out how forestry provides so much for so many people and that safeguarding its future is vital for communities all over the world, but especially in developing countries.”

Forestry as a means of reduce climate change through carbon absorption is now very much in the public consciousness. Carbon trading means that wealthy, industrial countries can pay developing countries with large amounts of forestry land to keep their forests standing to offset the impact of their industrial practices. In addition, Mr Collins and Mr Holmgren both point out that forestry is not disconnected from other industries. Holmgren explained to Guardian readers: “Forestry is not an isolated sector disconnected from the world beyond the trees. For local people, the forest is a source of renewable energy, food and livelihoods.”

Holmgren claims that there is a strong link between forestry and food security and that this, alone is a good reason to keep forests standing.

FRA claims that investing in sustainable plantations projects in countries like Brazil, that have large amounts of vulnerable natural forests, can help reduce deforestation. Mr Collins concluded: “Projects like the eucalyptus and teak plantations run by Greenwood Management in Brazil and Canada are lucrative choices for alternative investors, while being an ethical choice for those who want to safeguard the future of forestry.”

AAA Welcomes Oxfam’s First Foray into Impact Investing

October 11, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

UK-based charitable organization, Oxfam, is moving into the world of social investment with a loan worth some £1 million to a Mongolian business that specialises in machinery leasing. The move has been welcomed by AAA as further indication that social impact investment can benefit communities all over the world.

Boston, MA, USA, October 11, 2012 — UK-based charitable organization, Oxfam, is moving into the world of social investment with a loan worth some £1 million to a Mongolian business that specialises in machinery leasing. The move has been welcomed by Alternative Asset Analysis as further indication that social impact investment can benefit communities all over the world.

The loan is being offered through Oxfam’s Small Enterprise Impact Investing Fund, which it has set up with Swiss microfinance specialist Symbiotics and the City of London Corporation.

The response to the news of the loan has been interesting and has prompted investment experts to take the growth of impact investing seriously. As more and more charities move into the commercial sector by funding social projects and businesses that can benefit wide sections of society in developing countries, they are highlighting this type of investment.

Impact investing is growing in popularity among regular investors who are looking to make healthy returns over the medium to long term, while doing their bit to help vulnerable communities or reduce climate change.

AAA advocates many types of alternative investment, but focuses its support on ethical projects like those backed by impact investing. “Helping people to work their way out of poverty and to create jobs and opportunities for large number of people within a community is an extremely productive use of an investor’s wealth,” claimed Anthony Johnson, AAA’s analyst partner. AAA claims that a growing number of investors are now looking for ethical choices when deciding where to invest their cash, after being left with a bad taste in their mouths after the banking crisis.

Barbara Stocking of Oxfam told the Financial Times that it hoped its decision to invest in a socially responsible project will encourage other investors to do the same. “We are determined to prove to the investment industry that its scale and influence means it could play a significant role in eradicating poverty.”
