Think I read they did start in electronics. Then saw the need for performance parts..;
We started manufacturing in Sydney. We had three full manufacturing facilities and over 200 CNC machines, and we had no problem servicing the Australian demand. When we started launching in America and the demand grew in America, there was physically no way in hell that we could produce such quantities here in Australia. So we then moved to China, in 2003/2004, so we were early starters on the Chinese bandwagon. We saw the potential there, and moved ahead straight away. We work with [Chinese] factories, and our own factories over there. So we’ve been ahead of the game in Chinese manufacturing, but we’ve also been ahead of the Chinese manufacturing good versus bad. It’s not about going to China; it’s about how you go to China.
