This isn't the first time. Over the years we have gotten plenty of unsolicited offers and requests that dome our way. After writing an article in 2011 on the traditional Chinese wheelbarrow (http://islandbreath.blogspot.com/2012/01/chinese-wheelbarrow.html) there were several inquiries to buy wholesale lots of new wheelbarrows from Island Breath.
As you might know if you have visited this website before, we are based in tropical Hawaii on an outer island, Kauai. We did not experience the recent Polar Vortex many on the mainland of North America did. We also would not find plastic yard tools very sustainable.
Yesterday I received an email that struck me as particularly desperate. It was from a Chinese manufacturer at Snowshovel.com. They mass produce injected molded household plastic yard tools and will custom make (in large quantity) any tool you ask them to. Here's the email.
Their self description on the SnowShovel.com website is:
It would seem looking around their website that this medium size company is operating at under capacity and is looking anywhere for someone to order up a large batch of anything they can run through their injection molding equipment. Do you need 10,000 snowshovels?
Best of luck Gao Wei.

We have 80 tons to 800 tons plastic injection machines for production, we also have fine grinding, precision CNC mold manufacturing equipment to open the molds based on the customer’s sample and drawing. |
