Net,
"So the only relevant question for me is whether this is achievable?"
Not currently with FASC in the form of direct sales. How-ever if you include Sales and MFG by JP Plantech, Malaysia and/or others I see it easily happening.
I do believe FASC could "grow up" into such a scinareo, lets see what the market place delivers.
I am beleiving that the KDS needs to be more automated and price efficient to compete in volume areas. A couple years ago when I did more reasearch,(I now do none) My conversation with potentials
was that the KDS final product was better, but the pellot market did not need that quality. Also, the KDS did not do the volume needed and was way more expensive for initial purchase.
As you have stated in the past, the KDS is a niche item. I believe that due to costs.
If powder burners catches on, I do not think we have any competition in that arena?
My thoughts,
RJ
