Text Box: There is currently a lot of discussion about off-shore manufacturing. And in terms of geography there are a lot of choices. Currently the two most common locations quoted are Eastern Europe and China. Both locations have their strengths and weaknesses as sources of production for Western European manufacturers.

This is because: Lower costs than W Europe The proximity to the main markets of Europe (France Germany, Italy, UK) Established, fast logistics Engineering culture, & skilled workforce.
