Are we getting penalised?

hi again

our company owns two other businesses that both sell the same product, and we've used the very effective copy from the product's brochure and transerred this to each company's site, unchanged.

For a limited time, we hit the top 3 spots in our local google for a keyword search (this wasnt our intention, just a coincidence). But now, things have changed

Are we getting penalised for replicating a page of content on our sites? If so, is it just that page getting penalised, or the whole domain? How much does the content need to be altered? Any other thoughts on how to avoid a situation like this?

thanks :)
