I have a small electronics firm, make a few bits out there, and am finding that their pricing is going up all the time.
Costs of labels and mouldings are now up to UK levels.
No wonder vast numbers of small firms out there are going bust. They just don't seem to get it.
We had one contractor (putting cables onto PCBs and overmoulding them) go bust and we lost a load of free issue boards and all test equipment. The management were Taiwanese and they had to escape back to Taiwan otherwise they would have got murdered (literally, apparently) by the locals, for leaving wages unpaid.
We still buy moulded cables from there (DB9-RJ45 kind of stuff) and PCBs (for which they are still outstanding, both with QA and good pricing) but their prices are too high now to use them for anything higher tech, by the time the delivery costs are factored in.
