Manufacturering plants of white goods.

Re: Manufacturering plants of white goods.

Food is a prime example. It can be sourced from all over the world but if it is prepared and packed in the UK they can then stick a ‘Produce of the UK’ label on it. :rolls:

PS. I take it that ‘long’ in your last post was a typo and not intended to poke fum at the Chinese people Ken. 😆

Which is why I stated that most of the Refrigeration and Hobs came from Spain.

Of the 42 factories around the world in 13 countries Spain has 7.

When I worked for them the washers came mainly from Poland, a lot of D/W from Spain and a few other sites.

A survey we did found that a typically appliance travelled some 14,000 kms.

Another survey we did was of the 4 Dishwasher factories in a 24 hr period if you placed each appliance side by side they would measure some 5 miles.

At that time 3 of the factories were on 24hr production runs.

Those were the days, we spent in foreign locations doin surveys for PR and quality control. 😆

Proves my point. Each of these exquisite examples of pond life has a much longer lifespan than a Chinese – built dishwasher (and as far as the fourth one’s concerned that isn’t a joke).
