 It was in the news on Friday!Faller was founded in 1946 as one of the first businesses providing structures and accessories into the growing hobby market. As Marc stated, there is much more to Faller than we think of. They are not only a producer of German/European prototype structures. Many a kit that you could buy in the US under various brand names actually was manufactured by Faller. To say that Faller finally had to succumb to the global financial crisis would only be partly correct. The reason why their sales were dwindling over the last years is manifold:<ul><li>Less spendable income meets constantly rising prices</li><li>Aging customer base and failure to recruit younger people</li><li>" Wrong" range of products, neglecting the changed needs of the market for structures of different than southern German prototype</li><li>"Wrong" scale - not exactly to !/87 scale structures and last but not least</li><li>"Professional" management with no attachment to the market </li></ul> Faller will most likely be saved - just as Marklin will eventually be. Filing insolvency is the way to get rid of your unwanted staff which has been loyal to the company for decades, without having to pay severance money.A sad story, indeed!
