WE/TTI - Fine collaborazione con la WE Europe

Allegato 250778

WE Model Co., Ltd. are now allegedly working directly with WE Airsoft Europe following the latter's recent disassociation from WE Tactical Training International. Just like Jia Dyi Enterprise Co., Ltd. (Taiwan), WE Airsoft Europe (United Kingdom), and WETTI (Hong Kong) are simply three of many equal distributors of WE Airsoft products; no single company has ever been granted exclusive distribution rights for either the EU market or the worldwide market, this had been made clear in a past declaration letter from WE Model Co., Ltd.

After a brief business relationship, however, WETTI issued a statement on Thursday, May 15, 2014 essentially severing all ties with WE Airsoft Europe:
WE Tactical Training (International) Ltd. (WETTI), a leading supplier of airsoft products, announced today that it will discontinue the relationship with WE Airsoft Europe due to the inability to reach a mutual business agreement. Effective immediately, WE Airsoft Europe will no longer be the official representation of WE in Europe, the European Union and surrounding regions. WETTI will no longer deliver products to WE Airsoft Europe. This decision ends sales (including all WE products), service parts, and all related support between both companies. Our business relationship with WE Airsoft Europe began in January 2013. WETTI does not expect the termination of its agreement to have a material impact on servicing our customers and intends to work closely with retail partners in the European Union to ensure a smooth transition. Although we are disappointed about the termination of agreement, our value proposition remains strong. Our team will continue to move forward with clear focus on expanding our distribution reach even further, and deliver good service to our worldwide customers on a daily basis. Furthermore, we reserve the right of legal action against WE Airsoft Europe on unauthorized use of the trademark and any misleading statement, suspected fraudulent or illegal activity.

WE Airsoft Europe afterwards responded with a statement of their own, acknowledging the separation but disputing their current standing with WE Airsoft:
Excellent news for WE Airsoft Europe and more importantly our valued customers - In a nutshell more European factory controlled stock and better service. Fortunately, for WE Airsoft Europe we severed any ties last September with WETTI due to their lack of professionalism, commitment, loyalty and service. Subsequently the market has benefited from quality controlled stock with an unprecedented array of support goods carrying all the legal UK and European certification. This gives the retailer peace of mind and consumer value for money. IMPORTANT - Please note WETTI are NOT the FACTORY, they are not the MANUFACTURE of WE goods and NEVER have been. So we are quite bemused over their recent statement. If there is any doubt WE Airsoft Europe are pleased to announce our latest shipment of dedicated European stock with unique quality controlled features such as CE & RoHS applied markings, and QC FACTORY applied sticker. Furthermore WE Airsoft Europe are working on new and exciting range of products to be released soon. So keep an eye out guys! WE Airsoft Europe hope this statement quashes any uncertainty and please note its business as usual.

Global distribution of WE Airsoft products has remained relatively stable throughout. Only the development of new replicas, as of late, has taken an unusual pause; however, this is said to change soon.
