ArcaFrance just doesn't flow....
How old is the Arca Cube. When was it patented. Patents aren't forever. Usually on 14 years I think. Companies every where sit around and wait for patents to expire and then enter the market with their own knock off at a "reasonable price".
[QUOTE=vonstauren;341609]It makes the factory and the products manufactured in the factory French. Otherwise their products could not state that they are made in the EU which is important for some companies and meaningless to others. But Switzerland is not part of the EU.
[QUOTE=Bob Salomon - HP Marketing;341656]Wait a moment - you said the company is now French, now you speak about the factory being French. Any difference in your eyes between the two (the company and the factory)? I enjoy your logic so far, Mr. Solomon...
We won't speak about the American computers being now Taiwanese because produced in Taiwan...
[QUOTE=vonstauren;341787]Why not ask them? Their business office is in Switzerland or in France where their production is.
I'll give you an example. We are a USA company. Our parent company is Gepe Management whose business office is in Zug, Switzerland. The factories whose Gepe products we sell are in Germany and in Sweden. Now what nationality is our company? Or our parent company which was founded originally in Sweden? Our company was founded in the USA.
So you decide. Are they a French company because that is where they manufacture or are they a Swiss company because they may still have an office there?
Are we a US company because we were founded and only have a single location in the US or are we a Swiss company because our corporate parent is located there? Or are we a German comany because our parent has a factory there or a Swedish company because our parent has factories there and was founded there?
