Ruf Pulling out from Bahrain
The last time I heard from couple of guys works in Ruf ... they're pulling out from Bahrain because
miss management and dead business of course that's a big lost for us Arab Gulf citizens but to be honest I blame the management that lost this thing and messed it up ...

Didn't they build a really nice facility there??? Wow...I suppose not too surprising that business is slow given the global economy (oil failing from $140 down to less than $50)...

Yeah, but it was financed by one of the princes of Bahrain, so I don't think Alois & Co. have lost any money out of pocket. I'm surprised a company as structured and meticulous as RUF dove into such an outlandish endeavor. Probably good money and lots of potential opportunity, had the global economy held up.

I heard that our Crown Prince put up the cost to set up shop the reason why they're closing IMO is because the factory in Bahrain was intended to produce mainly for the USA and with the current state of the economy it isn't feasible but I think it will be closed until a date yet to be determined perhaps they can re-open shop in the future
