I am an engineer for a Tier I supplier (Stanley Electric) to Honda. I completely agree with what Darren said about the Japanese supporting their own economy. They are very loyal to their own companies. Every engineering group except mine buys Japanese supplied equipment. The only way we get away with it is all of our lines are complete custom applications that need to be built here.
Darren, send me a pm. I would like to find out more about your company, I'm always looking for potential sources.
