Hello all,
Just a small newsflash:
In the past 2 years, RM has been investing heavily in the creation of a new factory for case making.
Presently still under construction, it is planned for opening towards the end of this year.
There are a number of reasons this step was taken; of course, the sale of case maker Donzé Baume to the Richemont Group about 5 years ago was one aspect that meant RM would have to find new sources. More importantly, Richard was happier having more direct control over case making, as the delays in getting cases was getting longer and longer.
In this way, RM will be able to act even more quickly to the realization of new ideas, and have an even better supply of cases than was the situation previously. I will keep you posted as the factory gets nearer completion.
Ciao tutti,
Theodore Diehl
