    3D Speed now offshore made

    A friend bought a bottle on Amazon and mentioned “made in Vietnam”. Mine are older USA manufactured.

    If true, the beginning of the end, but after the business was sold I figured they would try to make it leaner and more profitable

    So much for totally made "in house" from start to finish

    Why can't stuff just be left alone

    I know building up a business and making it profitable and selling it is the American way, but too often it means a product or service for the consumer/end user that doesn't meet the former standards

    Not always, sometimes it brings along a cash infusion that means innovation, growth, more research, better products

    Not that I'm defending Tunch or the P&S guys, but I think they were all at retirement age.

    Good point and you could be right

    I read the blurb that SNP209 linked and it sounds like, at least in P&S’s case, is looks like the Phillips boys are going to remain on and hopefully get bigger and better

    I still have a sealed bottle of HD Speed. Maybe it will be worth more now

    Cost of producing in the US continues to rise while it's much cheaper in Asia.

    They are brothers? Well, you know 5 years and they will be out, probably. That's the way these things work.

    It will be interesting to get feedback on the Vietnam produced HD Speed once someone tries it out. Speed has been in my arsenal since it was introduced.
