Default Vit factory closure?.

There is a rumour circulating this evening on a UK site that Vit are expected to announce in late June plans to close their powder production operation, due to low military orders.

Anybody heard anything about that, might all be smoke and mirrors of course, hope so as all I use is Vit.

I bet it's not true as it supports Laupua and Norma. I bet it's closing but being reopend by another "name", or even still the same name with different investors and vendors. It might be for the better and get more of that N120/ 130 back on our markets. ADam

Default Vit Factory Closing

There is a response to this RUMOR, from Adam Braverman, the director of sales & marketing, denying any such, over on benchrest.com and on 6BR.com

Don't know how it is for the rest of y'all, but for my part they could do a lot better if they'd get their product on store shelves anywhere near here. Stores that are stocking powder are becoming few and far between, and those stocking any V-powder are even more rare.

In teh Uk six months between order and delivery is not that unusual so I hear, cant say of this is the fault of the importers or the manufacturer though. I have always believed that the stockists job is to stock the product in depth to iron out supply issues and the manufacturers job is simply to make the product.
