Any successful company concentrates on their core competencies. Metal work may be done better by another company that loves to do the work. GVG writes software and designs circuits. Doing Assembly and FST outside the company may actually be an advantage. Reduce cost and improve quality.

Back in the analog days, it took quite a while to adjust and set-up a switcher. Today, you can run a diagnostic program and set-up a switcher automatically. So the experience needed to electrically adjust the signal path is no longer needed. So you can use a lower cost employee to do the testing.

Best,
Park

The old GVG metal shop was sold to a group that has several locations and is still running and doing metal work for many of the GV video companies. Boards for a long time have been stuffed outside and over seas. Now the final assembly and test are going somewhere. We may learn more as the rumblings go around town.
