i think roland, mutoh, etc has no choice but to tolerate a high volume company like sign-in-china
30 years ago, our biggest supplier was RLM, a nationwide supplier, 3 partners who left INTEL,in the middle
of a big scandal
i remember it seemed funny, they said they did all their manufacturing & assembly of boards in austrailia
at a company open house i asked one of the partners what was the advantage of manufacturing in austrailia?
"no extradition to the us." was the answer
i knew right away this guy could play the game on an even footing with the chinese
