But two thousand parts are more profitable to buy in Europe for a while”, - said Bo Andersson - In addition, we were surprised to find that some of suppliers many of their individual parts buy in China - such cases were about 10. They are silent about it, but when the ruble has changed in September, our suppliers had to talk about it. But such pseudo-localization we do not need".
