Made in house, owned and operated by Axel Tunze. Sorry, it is the way it is and eventually when everything else people buy fails they come back so in the end I don't think we lose business. The Streams are now very close to being stock- in fact the 6060 and 6080 are stock items and after next week the 6000's will have no backorders. The Osmolator is a problem because the way we make things is one or two people are trained to make just that product, the person who made the osmolators had some family health issues and couldn't return to work. In Germany an employee is your lifetime responsibility, you cannot fire someone so the interview and selection process is very strict and only a couple months ago a replacement was found, no units had been made since January. I will try to get an update Monday but we just are very far behind and it is going to take a while to catch up.
