Singapore could be a solution for Rollei if they had
less ambitious objectives but they wished to compete
with the Japanese industry regarding quantity and
price. Suddenly Rollei was building enormous factories
in Singapore and buying Voigtländer Optical in
Germany, they manufactured in Singapore from alumium
plates and screws to shutters and lenses for the
cameras. Rollei promised to the Singaporean government
to employ 10,000 workers for the eighties, they really
employed till 5,000 on the seventies, Rollei expanded
fast too much on the seventies, finally they couldn't
pay back to the banks...
All the best
Carlos
