"Looking back, it feels like it was right to make that decision," said Andrea Schauer, chief executive of Geobra Brandstätter, which makes Playmobil toys. "At the level of quality we need, we didn't have enough man power to inspect factories in China."
這是 2007.9.17 IHT 的一則報導。當美國 Mattel 公司在中國製造的玩具被檢出含鉛而回收下架,顯示歐洲玩具商沒有向中國傾斜,堅持在地製造的路線是正確的。德國玩具大廠 Playmobil 執行長表示,:「我們沒有足夠人力檢驗中國工廠的產品,是否達到公司所要的品質水準。」 (唉!雀巢也是歐洲起家的公司,怎麼格調差那麼多?問題產品連環爆,還敢保證中國工廠的品管和全球一致?)
