More companies will follow that path, because us, europeans and americans, are just plain stupid, opening our markets to foreign low cost labour countries.
While visiting the last IWA. I could notice the huge ofensive by the turk manufacturers, who are, step by step, bossing the world shotgun market...making other manufacturers close doors. In fact, most of the spanish shotgun industry is gone, despite making tough affordable guns,, from side by sides, over and unders and semiautomatics.....from 70 manufacturers in the 70's...to just 7 small workshops making side by sides in the high grade portion of the market...and soon the italian industry will follow that same path.....as they cant compete in the popular market, pumps, semiautomatics, and over and unders, with the Turk industry. Same with the Brazilians.....and the Philippine.
Browning and Winchester are also now making all of their shotguns in Turkey, at extremly low manufacturing costs. Neoliberalism has killed the Western World industry,
