A small company has a more difficult time carrying the development cost to manufacture a commerical product. The overhead, working capital and payroll are killer, SW bought a new CNC press break this past summer to become more self sufficient, reduce dependance on external supplier and shorten delivery time. A very big investment for them to supply us. This type of organic growth in small businesses is the life blood of the american dream.
SW has a commerically available product today. In fact, they have orders to Austailia (where ARB is from
) imagine the cost of that! They are getting it done in the USA with Americans! There is no down side to that.
I genuinely hope that CBI makes a substanial offering into the T4R market, if will be good for us all. They have a solid rep, I am positive that SW has no issue with honest competition, it's the American way.
It doesn't take that long to get what you want ... it's worth the wait.
