The company that I worked for in 2001 designed fan trays for EMC servers and others. EMC was one of the strongest buyers of our stuff.
They went to GE for most of 2001, and we lost a lot of work, and then all those people went to China for their sheetmetal work.
Not all of it, but EBM lost a lot of work. The tolerances China held doing work was phenominal, they either hand picked their pieces by making 100 to fill an order of 50 or they were supermen with a press brake.
We were crushed when we lost a 500 piece order from EMC.
They cherry pick the tighest tolerance pieces during qualification then once the volume POs get cut, Katie bar the door. Ethics are non existent. Sun Tzu 1 - West 0.
