Question ID: 59452
I want to know the size of the USA and Canada market in US Dollars for
a product called "Isolated Phase Bus" or sometimes just called "Iso
phase bus".
Can you help me?  The only suppliers in North America for this product
are:  Delta-Unibus located in Illinois, Calvert located in Mississippi
or Louisiana, & GE located in Canada.  A history of this market would
be great, but what I really want is the present market size.  This
product is closely associated with the Electric Utility Generation
Market.  I NEED THIS ANSWER BY SEPTEMBER 10, 2002!!!

Dear Astom,

Could you clarify what an isolated phase bus is?  Is it a motor,
turbine, switchboard, wire, controller, panelboard, transformer...
Does "bus" stand for busway?

Also, my initial market search resulted in very little information on
"isolated phase bus", since it is so specific. I wonder if you would
be interested in more general market data for the Electronic
Instruments & Controls industry.  This would include among other
things, current-carrying wiring devices, electrical industrial
apparatus, electric transmission & distribution equipment.

Let me know if this would satisfy your question.

Dear Claudietta-GA,

Isolated Phase Bus (also known as Iso-phase Bus) looks like Pipe, but
in actually contains electric current carrying bars which are
insulated from the outer skin (the pipe).  It is used almost solely
for carrying electric power from Large Generators to Large
Transformers.

I need to know the USA or USA and Canadian Market size.  This should
not be extremely difficult.  There are only 3 manufacturers:  Calvert,
Delta-Unibus, and GE.  Perhaps if you just called them, they would
answer their last year 2001 sales and forcast for 2002, and extimated
2003.  Here is some contact information:

Delta-Unibus Corp. 
515 RailRoad Ave. 
Northlake, Il. 60164 
Phone (708) 409-1200 
Fax (708) 409-1211

Dear Astom,

How absolute is your deadline of 9/10? Can you wait at least one more
day?

I got more information on iso phase bus ducts, and managed to leave
messages at the investor relations desks of Delta-Unibus and GE
Insustrial Systems.  I got the corresponding revenue number from AZZ
Inc (parent of Calvert).

Dear Astom,

Calling the three companies resulting in one disclosure, one rejection
to answer such details, and one non-response to the call.  The one
disclosure mentioned that the specific number should not be disclosed
to the public.  I figured I would do it in aggregate.  So, since I got
at least one rejection, there is no answer to your question.

Thanks for using Google for your questions, and I am sorry I could not
get a full answer.

This message is to Claudietta,

I now can still use an answer up until the 20th of September.

You mentioned that the one response you got should not be disclosed to
the public.  I can assure you that this is for my use in making a
presentation in Italy.  My presentation in Italy is on Monday the 23rd
of September.

I can use any information you come up with.  May I suggest you call
the other two companys again - asking them to verify the information
you have.  Your continued work is appreciated.

Note to Claudietta,

How are you doing?  I really need the answer as to the market size.  I
guess tomorrow is the last day I can use the information.  Monday in
Italy, I must make the presentation with or without this information. 
Will you please give me what you have from the one company?  Maybe we
can arrange some reduced fee for your services.

Tom,

I have talked to the other two company controllers, and have agreed to
give me the info through email.  I got an email today saying that they
would send me today.  I am not sure about the other.

I will post whatever I have for you.  But by when?  Give me the last
minute deadline tomorrow, and whether it is PST, CST, etc.

I am sorry it is taking a while.  

Claudietta

Claudietta,

When I am in Italy, I will try to access your answer.  But I do not
understand your last comment about, "whether it is PST, CST, etc."

Please feel free to send it directly to my email, unless we are
violating some Google rules.  My email is elcousa@attglobal.net

Tom,

Got two!  Waiting for the last.  

What is the absolute deadline?  Did you say the 20th of September?? It
would help to know the time (West Coast (pst), Midwest (cst)...)

Claudietta

Clarification of Question by astom-ga on 19 Sep 2002 15:41 PDT
Dear Claudietta,

Two is great.  Give me them by the 20th and you can take $130.  Give
me the other also and you take the $200.  I really appreciate your
efforts.  I NEED THE TWO NOW!!  I can make a rough guess on the 3rd
based upon the other two.

Claudietta,

I really need just Iso Phase Bus.  I do not need all the bus duct
types.  Specifically I do not need Non-Segregated Phase Bus which I am
certain is included in Powell's.
 
I do not know who AZZ is.  The three I requested are:
1.  GE in Canada, 
2.  Delta-Unibus (a division of Powell) but not to include Unibus
division just Delta-Unibus division.  Delta-Unibus (not Unibus) just
makes Isolated phase bus.
3.  Calvert and again there just the Isolated Phase Bus, not the
Non-Segregated Phase Bus
 
I will appreciate what you can get specific to ISOLATED PHASE BUS!

Tom,

This statement: "In a two player market between D and C, the market
for 2001 is $20.6 million.  When G becomes known, I'll let you know
the total market via
a clarifiaction." is purely for isolated phase busway ducts.  It does
not include any other type of busway ducts.

I apologize for not being clear.  I see how you could have gotten
confused.  The attached additional information was solely additional
information on the parent companies of Calvert and Delta-Unibus, in
case it searved you well.

Please let me know if you need further clarification,
