Mass Production - Elphinstone

Now that CAT are not in the running to mass produce these machine (Most likely due to IP issues)

 

There still remains the question of who will be building these machine en mass?

 

If you have a look at one of the latest FBR videos mark is wearing a lanyard from a company called Elphinstone. Which has strong ties with CAT.

 

Looking at this company it is quite possible that they would be a suitable candidate:

1. They have the manufacturing capabilities to produce 100’s of HX’s
2. They have strong ties with CAT, using CAT parts and are able to use the CAT parts network around the globe to service machines
3. They are able to facilitate  FBR’s IP philosophy to retain all IP, but produce HX’s machines.

 

Could this company mass produce the HX’s here in Australia? FBR retains IP while manufacturing happens here and using CAT parts for serviceability around the globe.??

Anyone have any insights? Or care to speculate futher?
