Classe move to China

I guess we only want the Chinese $$ to finance our bankrupted governments but not the products they produces.

Should the Japanese boycott Honda, Toyota ... for building their cars in USA and shipping them back to Japan for sale? Or the Germans building their BMW and Mercedes in US and exporting to other countries?

The last time I checked Classe is a private company and their goal is to make profits and stay in business. Does anyone have a clue in running a PROFITABLE business?

BTW, I'm not a fan of Classe and have no plans to buy one.

Timrhu, just because A company failed doesn't mean Classe will fail. Ultimately their customer will let them know one way or the other.

Thank you for initiating this thread, Fundsgon. I'm glad we out companies which go down this road.

Although never an owner of Classe, it's now absolutely out of the question. Not that it will change things at this point, but I hope the company reads this thread.

Right with you, Elizabeth!

Onhwy61- Marx and Lenin could not be further apart in their interpretation of communism. Perhaps you meant Marx and Engels? Lenin was a simple, ignorant hack compared to Marx. Lenin's most valuable political tool was his amoral, ruthless nature.

As for greed being the very heart of capitalism, well, that is just your opinion. I have known numerous wealthy capitalists that were quite kind, generous and the opposite of greedy.

No offense, but you paint with a broad brush; life is far more subtle.

Trelja - Initiating this thread has opened up a fire hose of opinion and emotion. Wow!

Classe built their reputation by designing and manufacturing in Canada. Now some outsider CEO wants to improve profitability and moves manufacturing to China. Apparently the most recent components were designed by a fellow no longer with Classe (or B&W). Classe appears to be in the process of loosing its identity and probably a good chunk of sales - outside of China.

Most likely the big reason for moving to China: to access the Chinese market. Canada is a tiny market that Classe can afford to loose. BTW - if you want to sell into China, you had better be prepared to manufacture there.
