"...Garrett CEO Steve Novakovich commented..."

Another Serb there!?
Hell yes!


P.S.
It is Stevan Novaković.
But Americans are not able to say it correctly.

...has divisions in USA and Great Britain...

Ooooahahahahahahahaha!
Have you checked lately what their "Great Britain division" is producing and selling?
Most of their products are outdated garbage, totally useless toys.
Also now their UK division is independent, existing on their own.
You can't be serious producer with 3900 model in offer, today in 2020.
Or AF.. series? C'mon! Those are 40 years old projects!
Or Beachcomber series! More than 40 years old projects!
...
Just for the record; i am not laughing on White's.
Back in 199... (lost count) i had Eagle IIc which was hell good detector, still on my most favorite list.
They gone too far in hobby division.
But lately there is no money there, that's my point.

do not say me about the technology now. with the book THE DAY AFTER ROSWELL of Colonel Phil Corso released we did travel in new knowledge level. US got superior tech level
while left world did get nothing. Texas perhaps rich but why i do not see them with new ideas for us?
i see just Carl and George, and one hot serb like a trailer.

Also don't let me to remind you on GTI2500.
Most advanced for its time.
I bought my first one GTI2500 back in 2001.
19 years ago!
It is competitive by technology involved in, even with today's latest models.
Garrett is "silent" dude comparing to some other competitors.
That's why we don't know enough about their technology.
Also they are Texas proud. And Texas is rich and powerful state.
JFK lost head there!

because they focused much earlier on security and industry divisions.

nonsence you say. whites also was focused on security and industry divisions.
whites is giantic indusry and has divisions in USA and Great Britain.
we see just some degradation and it is appearing in the decline of US industry. do you give whole tech into China?
you had get the result.

Disagree.
What White's did in security and industry is tough to be compared with Garrett's technology.
15 years ago i got one, at that time considered as "very old and obsolete" walk-through detector, made by Garrett, complete.
When opened control unit i was impressed with what i saw inside.
Huge pile of SMD chips, mostly some processors and very advanced flash and eeproms. I was totally lost with it.
Couldn't do a squat when trying to analyze it. It was space technology for me.
All chips where designated with strange labels and i couldn't find any data on the net than.
It is real pity that i didn't take any photos of it than. So now i don't have proof.
I sold it. Because i couldn't do anything else with it.
And it was 15 years ago... with their "obsolete and long time discontinued" product.
White's did great technology, i agree. But i didn't see anything similar from White's in that category.

This is certainly better news that Garrett bought White's out as opposed to what happened with Tesoro.

"Integration" is modern word, the tendency conditioned by series of crisis we witnessed lately.
In this case bigger fish eat smaller.
Remember Fisher case? First Texas...
But i am afraid this will not stop.
In near future we will have situation with only one md manufacturer in USA, one in EU and conglomerate of Copy&Paste-rs from China.
Garrett is strong because they focused much earlier on security and industry divisions.
Hobby division is busted much earlier.
So they realized that there is no bright future in hobby division.
Chinese will always produce toys cheaper than anybody else.
This is situation that not surprises me. I anticipated this long time ago.
Only thing that i don't know is situation at ML.
Common logic tells me that they are ticking bomb.
(You can't count to live on rich Arab's money to eternity!)
