I assume this is to cover their backs when the average seven year old designs something far more appealing.

Couldn't agree more, Philip. I'm amazed that Ineos thought this was a good design. It was...for 1980. Now left. |

It's 'vintage' Ineos. I did a short stint with their Chemicals division. I call them the 'Ryanair of the petrochemical industry'. They make their money with fine print in contracts, deferred maintenance, circumventing regs, and charging supplemental services. The plants I workt for were bought from larger outfits where they were no longer profitable because of changed safety rules, labour laws, internal guidelines etc. For Ineos they were, because they did not have to innovate, not in producs, not in processes, not in operational methods. They just find loopholes in regs, negotiate 'clever' financial constructions, split the organization so it doesn't require union pesence, that sort of stuff. And tell their contractors they have to work cheaper or get dumped. They don't do the loyalty thing. You can call this 'business' all you like, but it's very tiring way to do business. You can't take their word for anything, there's always an angle. It makes some people very rich though. And even gets them peerages, looks like. Pete |

This sounds an accurate and considered opinion to me. Ineos grew very big in a short time by taking over businesses that other companies built up. With no experience of the Petro-chemical industry, I hadn't thought about it before. Maybe the same was planned for the Defender. JLR didn't want to build the old vehicle anymore, so was it seen as an easy 'take over' that never happened? Daimler wanted to close the Smart plant... So it was an easy take over. |
