Updates on CBE and Bokstein:
Well, to my surprise they both responded, and quickly too.
CBE: The good news is that FASCM has (finally) been very supportive and communicative...as they should. Don't know why that was such an issue initially. CBE has taken a Thai client to the plant in Kluang for a look-see and some testing. The only bad news is that he doesn't expect a swift decision.
Bokstein: The good news they still believe in the KDS. Sorry, that's it. The bad news is that the "sector" has not recovered from the war last spring. A potential sale to an electric company didn't happen because of it. They need a machine locally so they can process client's wastes because government regulations really restrict importing or exporting them out of the country. He feels that the KDS is priced too high compared to competitors, who also will give them a machine to use on a trial basis.
Having said that, he might be able to work something out with a collaborative effort. It sounds like there are lots of potential clients he knows who are interested, he just needs a machine.
He's looking for serious suggestions to resolve this dilemma.
