Going seperate ways

[Constant Laubscher]

I have decided to pursue a different business model and will be no longer part of Marksman writing instruments. I will concentrate on the manufacturing of small industrial parts, medical parts and also pen kits and will have something new to show shortly. I have established a new company that will be responsible for all the Swiss Machining.
Competition is always a good thing - Bring prices down and up the quality.

I have have mastered my new machine and have done lots of practice work on it. I am very pleased with my progress and will go in full production this week for the first 6000 parts.
Those in the area are welcome to pay me a visit to see the machine in action, just give me a call to arrange a time.

[Constant Laubscher]

Thanks everyone for the kind words.
Remember I am not going anywhere just going make more products for you as a turner and other industries.
My goal is to have all Made in the USA products and have the price that competes with what is available from China. Two Piece pen kits in the mid $20 - $30 Range and Single barrel kits in the mid $10 - $20 range. I believe that would be something more appealing to the members here.
