Inventory Issues last updated July 8, 2008

 

inventory

I have included a link to the Porzellan Manufaktur Meissen. (This is the company that used to take a leisurely week to 10 days to count its inventory) Since the company is owned by the state of Saxony , it does not publish financial statements. But some of you might find it interesting to see and read about a company that has been in continuous existence for almost 300 (founded in 1710) and has been owned by 1. The Kings of Saxony, the state of Saxony, the Russian Occupation forces, the "People of the German Democratic Republic" and finally, again, by the state of Saxony.
