Chris is right (don't let it go to your head :), all big companies now are global and are sourcing out their products all over the world. The only thing we can hope is that these German companies are holding up the high quality standards no matter where their plants are. So far they seem to be (ala VW in Mexico and South Africa). We have a French glass company here in Millville, NJ (Duran, aka Anchor Hocking). The french guys are here and running the show (I used to work there in the distant past). I suspect the same thing is going on in these plants that Bosch and VW have in Spain, Mexico, whereever. They have German QC guys there making sure that the products meet their standard. If they do this and use good quality materials then there shouldn't be a problem. Thanks, Ken Wilford John 3:16 www.vanagain.com Phone: (856)-765-1583 Fax: (856)-327-2242
