Makes no sense.

At issue: component sourcing. We have worked one supplier (overseas) (the supplier happens to be a 'brand' name....) -- at maximum overtime. There are laws in the country where this supplier is located. The government of that country allowed the supplier to work around laws temporarily -- but now we must follow the law. (...sorry - can't be more specific....)

Believe me: we want to build as many sold orders as possible
(within the law.....)

(...as we need to make money)

(...so that I can retire!!)

(just kidding about that last part...)


Now: You say: "Why not just get another supplier?"

Go back and read the "brand name" part..........

My guess is the supplier is Brembo, that is a name that is well known and I doubt they would outsource production to meet demand.
