Ah-ha! So the plant isn't even set up for mass production, hadn't even thought of that! Great, thanks for the insightful info.

The potential customer will visit see for themselves what the place is like and how much is happening, or not, and base their decision on that. There are plenty of places to go that are happy and healthy, that have cash flow and stability and no stories and in most cases the purchasing manager will choose security over drama. The one exception is the guy who thinks he can leverage Serotta's position into a lower price for him and that only helps the one side.
Anyway - back to the bench for me.
