Random spottings on factory tour

image

Joined a friend on a factory audit today totally unrelated to anything electronic. Spotted a few cool thongs though. This is a metal polishing station with a red bull can full of polish.

Down the hall is an unrelated factory making plastic tubing for bag machines. ABS plastic pellets go in the hopper and tube spits out. The single worker running the while factory occasionally measures the output with a ruler.

The tube goes into a bag making machine like this one we spotted at the south China market with Zach Hoeken last week.

Speaking of south China market, that place is strange. Here’s one of a hundred fur shops. Never seen anything like it. No red paint anywhere in sight. More on south China market shortly. Maybe write it up on way back to office from this tour.

  1. “…spotted a few cool thongs” ? Wow, so the factory workers are polishing metal wearing thongs? I didn’t see that in the photos :-). Interesting shots anyway! And the base of that turntable has a bolt loose.

    1. Good catch :) I discovered I still have the wordpress app on my phone and started tapping out posts like crazy. Unfortunately I have fat finger/little button syndrome :)
