Manufacturing.

So it's been a while since I last did a real post. Please forgive me. It's been a crazy few months with all the travelling, ending with Interbike at the end of September. The last couple of weeks have been dig out and follow-up time. Pre-season sales are being closed and new dealers around the country are being brought on board. What a great time for us!

Among other things Marcin is getting ready to leave next week to move his family to China. Yes, I said China! He will be back in a couple weeks for a short time but then will return to live there for a year or two. This is for a couple reasons. One is that we have a small office there and a full time production manager who is working dialy with our assembly plants. The other reasons are to personally oversee manufacturing of our newest high tech products and to hire and train a larger staff to help develop our manufacturing capabilities and quality control.

Just to clarify, we do not have anything made in China. All of our components are made in places like Italy, Australia, Japan, Israel, and imported to China for assembly. The reason we do this is to maximize the quality of the components we buy or have designed for us while keeping the end cost reasonable.

For those concerned with work ethics in in the factories we use, let it be known that Marcin surprise inspects each perspective factory to make sure no unethical treatment is present and to make sure that the atmosphere is conducive to employee happiness and good workmanship. The factories must also be willing to learn quality assurance practices and update equipment needed to keep up with Rocket Science Sport's technological advancements.

I believe we go well beyond designing and having products manufactured for us. In order to guarantee the best product we need to personally learn and be a part of all levels of the process. Marcin's commitment to the the quality and consistancy of our products I can assuradly say is unmatched in the industry. His tireless effort and attention to not only the details of the product, but to the process of design and production will surely be the root of Rocket Science Sports ultimate success as a business, and the advancements of technology in the industry.

Cheers!
