Gary...sorry to hear about your experience with BG and I guess it is ultimately easier to control every aspect of QC, although I am sure more expensive to do so, to bring manufacturing of all drivers in-house, but I am curious why you did not also consider some other sources for the ribbon drivers? There are established names there with long histories and seemingly high QC standards and the one that most comes to mind is RAAL but I know other driver manufacturers like Eton and others also have ribbon offerings? So one answer which you have alluded to in your comment and which I refer to above is having greater control over maintain high levels of quality and presumably better control over how much inventory to invest in (i.e., more just-in-time inventory model) than if you were ordering in minimum order quantities from a supplier, which may tie up more cash. But I am assuming companies like RAAL and Eton have good quality records and long histories that would have made the "buy or outsource vs. build in house" decision a bit more of an even trade. Just curious.
Thanks,
Cyril
