Auf einer Facebookseite, welche Oldtimer -Metalldetektoren (vintage metal detectors) gewidmet ist, habe ich gestern folgenden Post gelesen:
Auf einem anderen US Forum wurde geredet, als ob es mit White's Electronics nach 70 Jahren Aktivität vorbei wäre. Damit wäre nach Tesoro der 2. Dinosaurier unter den Detektorherstellern aus dem Rennen. Sieht man die aufsteigenden Detektorhersteller an, sie scheinen dynamischer und innovativer zu sein. Heute genügt es offensichtlich nicht mehr, qualitativ gute Geräte herzustellen, das Design, das Marketing und der Preis müssen stimmen.
Important Information from White's Electronics
June 18, 2020
To our valued White's Dealers
-This is a very difficult message to write, but the time has come for retirement from White's Electronics.
We are suspending manufacturing operations at our Sweet Home facility while we re-evaluate the future of the company. It is never easy to make these decisions, however, we are faced with the reality of intense competition in the industry and ongoing counterfeit instruments coming from China. Lastly, there have been critical material shortages since the Covid 19 shutdown that we now find insurmountable.
All of us here in Sweet Home are grateful for your service. We consider each you part of the White's extended family.
Sincerely,
Ken White
