interview
Can you talk a bit about the process of
developing new products?
We try and listen to the playing public
to see what it is that they want… We are
never going to be able to please everyone
but there is no point us making a marker
that can shoot 100 Balls Per Second if the
firing rate is capped at 12. So that’s one
aspect…..Listen. We also look at improving the product in lots of different ways,
some that you wouldn’t even appreciate
unless you’re a tech. We try and put the
same amount of effort and passion into
making our latest and greatest advanced
Paintball marker as we do into a pair of
gloves. We don’t simply come up with an
idea and launch it, testing can also take us
a long time, it might take us nearly a year
78
just to fully test some products and some
product never see the light of day!
How and where are Planet Eclipse’s products manufactured, assembled and packaged for sale?
All Planet Eclipse Advanced Paintball
markers are produced in house, we do not
employ any third party to produce any of
our markers.
EGO, GEO and SL are all produced, tested and packaged in the UK facility. ETHA
and ETEK are produced and tested in the
Planet Eclipse Taiwan facility, then shipped
to Planet Eclipse UK or USA to be re-tested and packaged prior to shipping out to
dealers.
