Going back to old PR from last year, I think this gives a little insight to Mr. Leonard's vision for this company now:
Leonard ties deal with Key Chinese Factories
June 12, 2010
The "Quantum Group" which includes three factories, is a large scale enterprise located in Urban District near Weifang city, China. The Agreement signed is for a long term development and sales effort with Tytan International Inc. Tytan has focussed on the small-size 4-wheel tractors ranging from 25-65 hp. Tytan's President , Mark Leonard, has been a long time friend and leader in the Chinese Tractor and Implement development. Mr Leonard says that his NEW factories meet the USA needs better then any others in China. Mr Leonard was a key partisipant in the development of several of the best Chinese tractor companies from 1988-1996.
Leonard's NEW deal is with three key tractor factories that have tractor experience since 1958 and have Sales throughout the World. They have also earned the "Top Quality" medals among Chinese Tractor Companies. These factories have grown and prospered to earn NEW modern factory facilities as well as having the best young engineers in China. Leonard is well known in China for his title as "the Product Innovator" of Chinese Tractor Products within China.
Below is an Advertisement that was ran in 1995 of the improvements made in the above factories by Rhino/Mark Leonard. The Chinese government was keenly aware of these improvements and who was responsible. The factories all benefitted with more monies being poured into them as they advanced. This is the same as what is happening now with Mark's factories.
IMO, these type of business plans and development do take some time to come to fruition and we should all be stoked that we are part of his ultimate plan--develop and expand this company to new heights that may even eclipse the RHINO brand ultimately! IMO
