A vague definition of made, the sticker might be.

Based near swindon. I do know as with everything we seem to be interested in buying that most of these products are available much further north in the uk unfortunately!

Fuelwood Warwick not too far away.

Lumag are at best assembled in Germany. If you read their blurbs carefully you'll see they say something along the lines of "100% engineered in Germany" "built to exacting German standards" etc they are most likely built as component parts in China and or India and some minimal assembly in Germany allows them to stick a German sticker on them.

A bit like expensive Italian shoes, made in China but the sticker is sewn on in Italy. Just enough "production" to stick handmade Italian on the box. It all stinks really. This outsourcing will come back around to bite us.

It’s ironic isn’t it?

 

Whenever I buy a Chinese it’s always made in England.

For that amount of use wouldn’t hiring some one in be possible rather than £10,000 odd of machine sittingbabout waiting to be used once every 2/3 years

Yeah I’ve thought about that, but once we have it we could potentially look at hiring it out ourselves. And that is something I might look into. Plus we love hoarding equipment!

Yes this would make a lot of sense. I think you’re bang on here. I will keep looking around. I’ve looked at a few companies already so I’ll keep digging to find something with a bit of a name.

Thank you I’ve looked at their things already so I will give them a call and see what they have within budget.
