Hi!

German press release can be found here:
http://wirtschaftsblatt....gt-in-Rumaenien?from=rss

Article says production was moved from China to Romania.
I presume the "Roco" power supplies are still made in China. I don't know if there is more they buy from China.

In 2013 RoFl had sales of 51 million Euros and a workforce of 700 persons. EBIT was 2 million Euros.

For comparison: Märklin had sales of 105 million Euros in 2013 with a workforce of about 1080 persons.

If we look at the sales per worker, we get about 72857 € for Roco and about 97222 € for Märklin.
Do they have many robots at Märklin? Or is there still a considerable amount of Chinese production left in 2013?
It will be interesting to compare the 2015 figures ...


Google translation of the Roco post:
Vienna / Bergheim. Romania has become strategically important for the model railway Holding Roco in recent months. 2013, the entire production was brought back from China and moved to the Romanian factory in Arad. This is now the mounting base of the Salzburg company. The experiences the Economic Journal in an interview with Leopold jay, CEO of model railroad holding company.
In Arad monthly 12,000 locomotives and 25,000 passenger and freight cars from Roco and Fleischmann now be produced.
"We go the opposite way," says jay. While much of the industry produced in China and supplies the European market, provide the Salzburg ago in Europe and already supply the Chinese market. With a million € turnover but this is still quite manageable. Half of the company's revenue in Germany. Half of the clients are collectors.
Moves back from China because there are rising wage costs and also the project cost within the company has become larger.
Fleischmann integrated
Two features distinguish the work in Romania: The products obtained by turnover (2013: € three million, 270 employees) growing by two percent, while the European model railway market total shrinks. The work in Romania is also ISO certified. "A quality award," says jay. He is one of three managers who have the 2005 geschlitterte into bankruptcy involves upgrading on behalf of Raiffeisen and then taken over by a management buy-out. The Salzburg are the market leader Märklin number two in Europe. The turnover of the holding company amounted to € 51 million in 2013, while EBIT two million €, 700 employees. This year would be reached in all cases the level in 2013, says jay.
Have been addressed is the integration of the acquired years ago competitors Fleischmann. When production and sales synergies were lifted. During engineering, the company remains positioned brand specific, just as Roco and Fleischmann. In Slovakia, or in Gloggnitz be prepared for both surfaces prepared or plastic injection machines and tools.
