Head to reduce tennis racquet production in Austria and Czech Republic

Kennelbach, 22 April 2005 - Head Sport AG has decided to outsourse 90% of its tennis racquet production from its European sites in Kennelbach, Austria and Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic to China... For the full article go to www.head.com/corporate/news.php?show=1

The article goes on to say that a "limted production of approximately 50,000 racquets will remain at the Kennelbach site." I believe that is for there Pros and not for the consumer.

Thats why Tennis-warehouse could not get anymore Prestige Classic 600 racquets.

That blows! PC 600 R.I.P...

 

[Grimjack]

Yes, but all those spiffy new Chinese racquets will have flexpoints! And will be imbued with liquid metal! How can the consumer lose?!

 

[Loud]

That is sad...I wish they did a run of PC's before production moved over.
