HUSS closes Factory

[Mike Parker]

Found this on a message board, there are links to pics, so I'll just paste the
entire message. Makes it easier this late at night. Also the grammar isnt the
greatest as the poster of this was German :)

"The factory of Huss will be torn down within the next weeks. It was sold to a
building center, which is allready next to their ground.

At the moment all overhead cranes are demounted from the halls rubish
containers are filled. On the front lot are 4 complet rides which wait for a
customer.

Huss bought a factory in Hungary, where all the rides are made now. There they
have to pay less salary and all the workes in Bremen were fired. So HUSS is now
"MADE IN HUNGARY".

Thought this all may be of interest to some. Seems odd since when you think of
Huss, you do think of Quality German Engineered rides.

Finally, one day it was discovered that through an error in our accounting
department, we had inadvertently missed three payment's on our roller
coaster..And then we knew the answer..Our ride had been REPOSSESSED!

Wow, it was only the other day I suggested that HUSS might not be
around indefinately with the way things are. I was absolutely
distraught to read of the factory closing... but happier to know the
company will continue off-shore in Hungary. I feel very sorry for the
workers, some of whom have probably been with the company for 30 years
or so.

Not good... manufacturer's are dropping like flies, I spoze it takes
only 1 or 2 cancelled contracts to topple them over, as was the case
with Schwartzkopf. Hopefully HUSS's management is as good as their
rides and we will see them survive for a long time to come.

They will still be quality German engineered rides, no matter where they
are made. Volkswagon has factories in Mexico and the Czech Republic,
among other places, but they are still German engineered.

It was less than two years ago that Nauta-Bussink left the Netherlands
to be based in Switzerland. That's when the name changed to Ronald
Bussink Professional rRdes. I'm not sure where the manufacturing went
in this case. When the Giant Evolution was first manufactured in the
early Nineties, the name was Nauta, Bussink, and Bailey.

The one major contract they had that didn't get filled was an
"Ultimate"" ride for Bobbajaenland . Apparently there were issues
with the delivery contract and as far as I know no orders are placed.

I believe that Ronald Bussink Professional Rides was responsible for
the rehab of the SFGAdv EVOLUTION into STStl's XCALIBUR. Pity that
SFGAdv couldn't "get it right".

It will be interesting to see how HUSS does with it's new products,
especialy the Giant Rides.

It's sad seeing the footers there knowing what could have been built :(

-Click "Ronald Bussink's New Flash Site"
-(View intro - awesome music)
-Click "Home (Click Here)"
-Click "Rides"
-Click "Click here to view our Giant Rides"
-Click "Ultimate"

The graphics there explain far better than I could put into words the
motions of the ride. The foundation still exists now at Bobbejaanland,
ready to recieve the ride that never came. :( None have been built.
