New Mobius Megatar Factory …

Filed under: Expansion,Factory,Mobius,News — f1xSTRM at 3:53 pm on Sunday, July 15, 2007

Recently, we purchased some land for the purpose of building a new and larger factory for the construction of Mobius Megatar instruments.

Our existing shop — the Secret Megatar Laboratory — has just become too small, and we need more space.

This last week, building has begun. Here are some photos –
