GA,
I would now appear that Grundig AG (Germany) is using Sangean (Taiwan) as a Design Engineering Service Provider -and- Using Sangean's (Taiwan) manufacturing facilities that are now located inside CHINA (PRC) for their production work. Maybe Grundig AG (Germany) is doing some additional Design Engineering Work on these basic Sangean Radios; but their are/remain Sangean Radios. Grundig AG (Germany) gets some good Radios to Sell in the Euro-Land Consumer Market. Sangean gets a High Sales Volume for the Radios by using the GRUNDIG Brand Name and a 'better' Profit by using the GRUNDIG Brand Name. TBL: Good Business For Both Companies. These are Truly 'world' Band Radios ![]() jm2cw ~ RHF .. .. = = = (Gary) = = = wrote in message . com... (RHF) wrote in message . com...
