Too Little Too Late?

This practice has gone on for too long! It affects US and european firms alike, from viewing cabinets to knitting machines to weaving looms to dyeing machines. The main problem is poor quality merchandise causes loss of sales to good quality suppliers which will affect developement of new machinery. The poor quality knock off equipment stifles developement, these manufacturers can only copy, not innovate
