In case you missed them, a couple of items hit the news services earlier this week, both reporting that Sharp has declined Samsung’s offer to acquire their copier business.
“On the one side you have Samsung saying they asked to buy it and Sharp said no, and you have Sharp saying they had Samsung interested in buying it and we said no,” says Mike Marusic, senior vice president, Marketing & Business Solutions Group, Sharp Imaging and Information Company, in an e-mail to industry press and analysts. “Hopefully that should put the rumors to rest.”
The following links will take you to the two news items that fanned these flames:
