    I heard this past weekend that RP Scherer is looking to get out of the Paintball making business.

            I always thought that RP Schere(sp?) was a pharmaceutical company that happened to have an encapsulating machine?

                  RP Scherer is an company that works for the pharmaceutical and other industries, they specialize in encapsulation. They do stuff like gelcaps, liquicaps, bath beads, etc. (I heard that paintballs and bath beads are the same size because RPS already had the machines, but that may not be true.)

                    The intimation was that prices were going to keep going down on paint and therefore the profit. And that concentrating on their core biz is where the real money is. This person had heard that RPS was looking to sell thier factory(ies).
                    Again, this is just what I had heard.

                        My GUESS, but I would imagine a good one, would be that PMI contracts out their paintball manufacturing to RPS, in much the same manner that AGD and other companies have their milling done for them. In which case I would GUESS that RPS can stop making paintballs whenever they feel like it, without really taking a hit as long as they keep making their medicinal/other products. I hope this rumor is pure BS though, I like RPS paint, just like most people do.
