Brands & Manufactures

This is my new cutting board and why would I make a picture of it. It's the all known Swedish company but not made in Sweden. Funny, isn't it. As you can see it's made in Romania. Probably because of the labor prices.

This board is my backup board because the one I am using is tarting to fall apart. I do hope this one is getting the job done. Not like the one I bought last year or was it the start of 2014. I love to see this board in action. It's small and I can hang it up.

Just like this 'brand' a lot of other well known brand have their production line in countries with lower labor prices. I think it's funny when Chinese products are made a joke but their beloved mobiles are also made and assembled by Chinese. The thing is you pay for quality and with stuff it's the same but a lot of stuff on the market are overpriced and it's up to us to decide to pay or not.

That's why I decide what is a reasonable price before I go looking for products. I am not going to pay if the price isn't right. Knowing what the production and logistic cost are makes it so much easier for myself.

It's one of the reason I don't support a brand but certain product of a line that I personally use. Like the Sennheiser earphones MX270, love those and it still works after years. So knowing that a brand doesn't always guarantee safe production process I can never really stand behind something like that.
