VisionTech Components Finally Shut Down for Selling Counterfeit Electronic Components

By September 16, 2010No Comments

Finally the authorities are starting to shut down the companies that are flooding the market with fakes.  There is serious danger in providing these components to manufacturers,  especially in the defense, medical and aerospace sector.   We believe this second big bust (MVP in 2009) should send a chilling message to all of the others who are taking in windfall profits by either purposefully purchasing countereit components or just turning a blind eye and sending them off to their customers without a thourough inspection. 

See some great footage and pictures of the bust at this link;
