Gong SUP made in Portugal mit Greenpoxy - Infos? Erfahrungen?

[Ralf K.]

Nachdem die Lieferzeit meines Gong SUP One in 6.8 schon um einen Monat verschoben wurde, wurde es nun erneut um einen Monat verschoben und ich habe folgende Mail dazu bekommen:

Hello,
We may contact you today, because you are waiting the delivery of a board from our next container (C29).
We had big concern about the delay from the Chinese factory, so we started in the same time a production of all the boards which been ordered in our new factory in Portugal few weeks ago. So the board that you ordered will be of Portuguese origin. The Chinese boards will be sell later.
We worked on the transfer of this entire production since few months, to find new suppliers, new technologies, improve the process, keep the costs of production at the best price possible to offer boards produced in Europe, but with the will to maintain reasonable fees really close to the fees that we offered so far.
We gradually optimized our industrial tool and our working methods in order to continue to more customers the best quality without price rises. We use greener and more technological components that we don’t have in Asia.
- Portuguese boards are greener since it made with 100% Greenpoxy bio-based Sicomin resin. 100% of lamination will be made with this french resin.
- The blanks used are local in origin and better quality.
- The boards are even stronger thanks to the selection of local components. Those technological materials that we master perfectly offer lighter boards.
- The general finish and the perceived picture quality are significantly increased.
- The shipping of the board and its components is extremely low, the carbon footprint has been calculated as fairly as possible.
- The availability of the boards will be better in the very short term, because the delay of supply is extremely low.
Our boards from China were very good, we surf those boards for years with a lot of pleasure, but the quality of Portuguese boards is the best.
GONG starts this year a major change that we had been preparing for some months, we are also aware about the temporary embarrassment, but this adjustment was essential for us.
All the delivery dates of those boards have been updated on our online shop. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you need to change your delivery address.
We still look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards.

Was soll ich davon halten? Ist eine erste Serie aus Portugal besser/genauso gut wie eine Serie aus China mit mehrjähriger Erfahrung? Was ist dieses Greenpoxy? Ist genauso gut und besonders, lässt es sich mit normalem Epoxy reparieren?
Hat einer Erfahrung mit Boards aus Portugal und/ oder Greenpoxy?

Thanx
