We all
... produce electronic waste! It's just a matter of time!
We here at Ampete En ineerin are not only consumers, like you yourselves, but also en ineers of electronic
products that we want to place into a modern world. Here it looks at first lance that everythin has been
invented already. But demands are ettin more refined and specific by the day and as in the economics,
the sports- or even spiritual world, performance, utility and consistency depend on small chan es and
nuances in improvements. In other words we are supposed to et better every day. This is not a one way
street, it's a hu e responsibility in the other hands!
For us it means more than wantin a slice of the pie. It means to review every sin le product we desi n for
its added values, to anticipate the circumstance you put it into in order to ‚simply' be able to maintain it
everywhere it has been sold to.
Today our whole life is determined by electronics, at home, on the road, at work or vacation, in
supermarkets, concert arenas or even in natural resorts.
Today in eneral electronics aren`t built any lon er to last! They`re cheap.
For people from the 70ies like us it is a turnin point. We rew up in a world where an electronic device is
nothin short of a masterpiece. Today 90% of electronic applications are manufactured by usin robots or
exploitation in countries where ` lobal players` celebrate the abolition of workers protection and minimum
salaries. But it doesn’t end there.
After an expected life cycle, more or less short, the cheap electronic waste is onna be ‚disposed‘ of. Dispose
mi ht su est that components like housin , metal and synthetics will be recycled to find their way back
into a product. But of course often this is not how it is done!
If you ever heard of 'toxic city' (and I don't mean the fantastic album of a reat band) you probably know
what we speakin of.
It mi ht surprise you to read this in a manual for an electronic device.
We want to make sure you understand that by purchasin an Ampete En ineerin Product you will et a
device in which we put all our passion, belief and knowled e and that you et a product in the tradition of
many reat people before us, for whom electronics were and still are wonderful masterpieces.
But you also purchased a little piece of responsibility. Maintain your Ampete En ineerin Product – we will
be here to support you, we built this to survive… possibly even us.
In case you should be faced with any issue on any day at any place somewhere in the world, we are here as
you would expect us to be.
This is not a promise, it is our view of life.
Thanks for lettin us be a part in enablin your musical world.
Yours sincerely,
Ampete
