shortliner Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 The Discontinuance of Floquil and PollyScale & Pactra Paints --------------------------------------------------------------------------------  I just found this elsewhere on the web - It may not affect too many on theis side of the pond, but there will be a lot of upset modellers in USA Jack  Friday, May 17th, 2013    Unfortunately there are changes taking place at the Testor Corporation. They have made the decision to exit production of the Floquil, PollyScale and Pactra brands. Paint will be shipped for a limited amount of time based on availability. The Testor, Model Master and Aztek lines will carry on. I am writing to inform you about changes that are taking place at the Testor Corporation. For over 80 years, we have provided premium paints and finishing systems to the craft and hobby industry. Today, we announced that we are transforming our business in order to more effectively address the changing needs of our consumers and their interests.  We’ve made the decision to exit the following businesses within the Testor® Brand family - Pactra®, Floquil®, Polyscale®, and ColorArtz®. This will enable the Testor Corporation to return to our foundation of success – providing premium, innovative product that inspires creativity. We will continue to accept orders and ship product for a limited time based on available quantities.  Going forward, the following brands will be critical to our success and development – Testor®, Model Master™, and Aztek®. These brands will be infused with marketing support, innovation and operational efficiencies.  In support of this, we have announced a consolidation of operations at our Rockford facilities. Over the next several months we will provide updates critical to your order and delivery needs as well as product availability. We assure you there will be no disruption to service during this transition. Our commitment to the Testor brand has never been stronger. By implementing these changes, and the ability to leverage all of Rust-Oleum’s world class services, we are more strongly poised to take your business to the next level through product and merchandising innovations, and increased customer intimacy. Please contact me or your sales manager directly with any questions.  We appreciate your business!  Best Regards,  Kristin J.
