iRex NOT mass-producing in China after all

TadW · 07-27-2007, 09:05 PM

Last month we've seen rumors of iRex planning to mass-produce the iLiad e-reader in mainland China. As it turns out, iRex management must have changed their minds, because - according to latest news from Interfax China - there ain't no iRex factories in China in near future.

Quote:

Shanghai. July 24. INTERFAX-CHINA - High-tech Netherlands-based company iRex Technologies has no intention of moving its manufacturing activities to China in the near future because the location of production is not a key factor in the cost of the company's major product, the iLiad, a company official told Interfax yesterday.

Those rumors were dismissed on this forum and on Irex's forum more or less right after they were posted. Either some bloke in China was trying to con people or there was a translation error.
