There's a difference between something that's difficult to do and something that can't be done. If my boss asked me to do something impossible, sure, I couldn't do it. But if they asked me to do something I thought would be difficult and would interfere with other stuff, I'd say so. But then if he changed his mind and didn't want me to do it, that would not be me refusing to do it; it would be the boss deciding it wasn't worth it.
Now you're claimining that the factory management essentially "knows better". That's fine, but then it's still *YOU*, *YOUR COMPANY*, *YOUR MANGEMENT*, *ASTAK IN THE USA*, that's not willing to make a custom machine. Because you've made the judgement that it's not worth the effort because you believe factory management when they say the effort is too high. But you can't blame *them* for it. You can't say they *won't* do it unless you've ordered them to do it anyway and they still refuse.
You tried to deflect responsibility for your company's own decisions onto some faceless Asians, making it look like their lack of ability or willingness, and now you're claiming it's because you actually respect their judgement. Regardless, it's not their fault you're not making a custom Astak... it's your own.

Why don't you learn how business is done before coming in with crap you obviously don't understand.
There are such things as internal customers within most companies. This is done for a number of reasons, most often relating to accounting.
What this means is that company number 1 may own company number 2, however company number 2 is still run as an autonomous business and treats company number 1(it's owner) as a customer for accounting or other reasons.
In a situation like this it is quite normal and reasonable for company number 2 to refuse a request from company number 1 regardless of the ownership status.
Now, assuming Astak owns Netronix(as seems to be the case from what Robet has said), just because Astak asks it's subsidiary(Netronix) to create a custom ereader with XYZ specifications, this does not mean Netronix must do so.
It is not the same situation as your boss ordering you to do your job.
Get the picture now?
