[CITY, STATE] – [DATE] – [Company name], Arizona’s leading supplier of home
and garden equipment proudly announced their merger with [Company name]
today. The decision to combine the two companies was arrived at after careful
consideration of our product lines. By consolidating our product lines, we are able
to develop a larger line of high end products that have longer life spans, which will
be more appealing to our end-users.
We will be introducing a few new services as well. Beginning on September 1,
2009, customized lawn and maintenance care services, and pool cleaning services
for homes and offices will be offered. Feel free to contact our Sales Staff for more
information about these new service packages.
As stated by the company’s Board Chairman and Chief Operations Officer,
Graham Cracker Crust:
“This merger is exciting because it allows us to develop a host of specialized customer
care packages for lawn maintenance and landscaping services … because our
inventory has just about doubled, we will be able to pass a significant cost savings on to
our customers. I believe the merger of these two companies will be of great benefit to
consumers.”
All product and company names shall remain the trademarks of each respective
company.
