Most "Grundig" radios are engineered and manufactured in China by
Tecsun, which sells them under the Tecsun name in Asia, Eton in Europe,
and Grundig in North America.

I forgot to point out in my first mail about this Grundig matter that
above statement is quite wrong.

As I already said in North America Eton produces some items (mainly
radios) under licensing agreement with Grundig and sells them in
North America under the brandname of Grundig. Eton does not have the
rights to use Grundig brandname in Europe markets.
And Tescun in not the only OEM producer of Eton and Grundig Germany
radios. It is only one of them so it is wong to say that "Tescun is
Grundig Asia or something like that"

About Tescun situation is like with most electronics and computer
industrie - to save costs European and North American companies simply
order their products from Chinese and other Asian OEM companies. In
general products were enginered by European and North American
companies themselves, but it seems lately that now sometimes even
engineering is already made in China . So instead beeing of
electronic industrie European and North American companies are
becoming more and more simply redistributing and branding companies.
