I have also heard that Brokk is about to launch a new model between the 180 and 400 shortly

My company is actually located really close to the Brokk factory in Sweeden, i'm just on the Finnish side of the lake ;)
I also belive that Brokk will begin to listen more to customers and pay more attention to feedback, when the competition grows its really important. Brokk has still the chance to keep the crown, but they really should start training harder! I have some development ideas for them, it will be interesting to see how they take it when i bring them out. The basic machines are quite good indeed, but room for improvements is still available.
they also need to take a look at the pricing of the equipment, for example the PLB300 surface cutter costs about 17000

Glad to hear that things are being sorted out in Finland. I think that the arrival of Husqvarna will force Brokk to become better and that it is more important then ever for Brokk to listen to the customers, Finland and Sweden are so close that communication directly with the factory should be easy.
My sources tells me that B330 electric is gone with the B400 arrival but that the B330 Diesel will remain for now. I have also heard that Brokk is about to launch a new model between the 180 and 400 shortly

Especially since it is somewhat un-ethical to sign a distributor agreement and then work behind the back of the manufacturer to copy the product.
Kopadi has signed a distributor agreement with Brokk and is now the new Brokk distributor in Finland.

I'm totally with you on that first one! but this is normal things in the buisness world, at our level former employees start their own buisness and try to gain market. But usually I can keep them to attempts only, because we have a goal to give 100% service to our customers all the time! so far it has worked quite fine:)
I'm really glad to se that Kopadi Oy is now selling Brokks here in Finland! Mr. Matti Rantanen and Sakari Hiism

I really think that Brokk would need to build a machine that is in the middle of the 90/180 and 180/400, they have quite big gaps!
A machine weighting 1500kg and a machine weighting about 3300kg would be nice in many places.

here in Finland Brokk is a complete mess at the moment :noway::noway:
Brokk has banned Husqvarna as dealership, and doesnt sell anything to them at this point... Husqvarnas contract with Brokk ends sometime next spring, so no new dealership can come before that:mad:

so getting spareparts & support is now non existing, that is ridicolous!
Brokk is like a teenager who doesnt like to play anymore with his friend, to bad Brokk has forgot all their customers at this point.
All this because Husqvarna is bringing their own robot to the market.

I really hope Brokk will get some serious competition, they really think they are the only ones in the game, but they will come down to earth sone!

Dimas (now Husqvarna) has been the the Brokk distributor in Finland since the early 90's, it is understandable that they get cancelled when they now have become a competitor. Especially since it is somewhat un-ethical to sign a distributor agreement and then work behind the back of the manufacturer to copy the product.
Most of the main people at Husqvarna in Finland that had been working with Brokk sales and support has left the company and started a new company called Kopadi. Kopadi has signed a distributor agreement with Brokk and is now the new Brokk distributor in Finland.

Do you want to be a blonde one day and a redhead the next? One way to do this is to dye your own hair and restyle it, but you can achieve the same effect with much less effort − just buy lace wig. To select a wig that would be indistinguishable from real human hair wigs and become your favorite fashion accessory, though, you need to know a few insider tips. First of all, if youre worried that full lace wigs will look natural on your head, never fear! A properly made wig − even the quality synthetic varieties − can look totally realistic. Which is best − synthetic or human hair wigs? Wigs can be synthetic or made from real human hair. Synthetic front lace wigs is cheaper, but the very cheap ones you can find online dont look real enough. On the other hand, high quality synthetic cosplay wigs like Revlon, Raquel Welch or Paula Young wigs look very real. Also, synthetic wigs are easier to care for, as you dont need to restyle them every time you wash them.

No problem, that would be my guess on the 330. I do not have confirmation on that though.
