We are fully running our production line. There has been thousands of boards built and shipped already. Actually, all FEZ Hydras and FEZ Spiders in stock are made in Michigan, USA.
So why did we decide to do this where everyone is going to China? The answer is QUALITY. When it comes to making more money or making a better product, we chose to make less per board because we know you will be happy and buy more int eh long run.
I am sure you have heard of some stories of what happens in Asia but here are coupe fun examples:
Excellent news and no doubt your home made products are better as Gus is pretty apparent from your involvement in this forum that you believe in your product and are fully involved in the user community. Congrads and I’m looking forward to the video as well as I’ve told a number of people about your company and how it was bringing manufacturing back from China.
I hope more companies start thinking this way and China economical growth will be supressed. Right now both US and EU are gowing down while China has it’s golden age…
That’s true. We usualy don’t see the big picture and think why should i pay more if i can buy it for less. Simple rules in free economics. The problem is when everybody think the same and it’s to late for local companies to compete with China rivals. So the manufacturers also get involved with China in producing their goods and suddenly we are not as independent as we thinkt we are
Gus, how much time does it take to reconfigure the production line for a different product? For example when you’ve ran a batch of Hydras and need to set it up for Cerberie (Cerberusses ???)?
