UNEXPECTED KADER MOVE WILL HOLD UP MODEL PRODUCTION

Production of Bachmann and Graham Farish models has been affected by unforeseen changes to parent company Kader’s facilities. Kader has opened a new model railway factory, which would have led to an existing plant in Dongguan being redeveloped. However, Kader has been asked to vacate the Dongguan site sooner than previously expected and has had to accelerate the move of tools and equipment to its new factory. A statement from Bachmann Europe said, “This will, regretfully, lead to a temporary reduction in production capacity while reorganisation of our production facilities takes place. Once the reorganisation is complete we shall be in a stronger position, with increased production capacity. This will allow us to deliver those models that are still outstanding, along with many more that are currently in development.”
