Limbach has posted a letter on their website.

http://www.limflug.de/downloads/905/Ausstieg8.pdf

Google translate should be able to cope with getting the meaning across. In essence, Limbach is going out of business. Interesting is the following sentence.

Quote:

Wir werden seit vielen Jahren schon unter einer Flut von Vorschriften und Anforderungen erstickt. Der Versuch, sich in diesem Umfeld zu bewegen ist gescheitert, weil wir die erforderlichen Ressourcen dazu nicht bereitstellen können.

Translation: For many years now, we have been choked to death by the flood of Regulations and requirements. Our attempts to do business in this environment have failed, because we are simply unable to find the necessary resources.

Greetings
Lutz

Thanks for posting Collin,
we have all bought a lot of cheap goods from Asia during the years. That's why all financial resources are currenty in Asia, even Volvo is chinese-owned nowadays. If this helps us keep our Fourniers in the air I guess it could be a good thing.

May the 4's be with you/ Jörgen

Keeps the supply chain for UAV engines going to the people that were Limbach biggest customers. I understood that the main reason for the closing of the doors at Limbach was that the EU were preventing them selling UAV engines to their biggest markets. Getting the company out of the EU solves that issue doesn't it?
