I did go to the other site, I did not say that the Nilco is not made by Fakir. Is it the vacuum on the other link that does not look to be made by Fakir, Please do not assume. Is everyone in the UK as friendly as You? This is the company I was referring to, http://www.ivacalacarte.nl/. They do not appear to be the manufactures of Fakir vacuums.[this post was last edited: 9/8/2013-22:04]
 
The Fakir S-312 (as well as the S-314) were most commonly found in North America as the Clarke Combivac. Once Nilfisk Advance purchased Alto, the Fakir uprights branded for Clarke were discontinued in favour of Nilfisk's in-house designed and manufactured machine.


 


The older Fakir uprights used a flat belt, which was it's biggest drawback in commercial use, IMHO. Newer models incorporated a cogged belt.


 


Fakir uprights are made in <span>Vaihingen an der Enz, </span><span>Germany. They're not manufactured by Ivac.</span>
 
I went to a factory in China recently were they were making exact copies of these under many names in different colours. They were very very secretive and did not want pictures of these machines taken, other vacuum models yes but not these and other canisters mentioned in a similar thread, Perhaps because the company's claim they are made in Germany:) [this post was last edited: 9/9/2013-16:50]
 
No not Kingclean, But they manufacture so many brands of vacuums for company's its amazing. If your a vacuum company and need a entry level vacuum you just take your design to them and tell them the quality you want and presto you get a vacuum. I have seen really good quality and really poor quality vacuums come out of that plant. t was another company. There is literally a vacuum plant on every corner.

Must be some nice legal drugs being used in South Africa. What has ever been manufactured in South Africa? Stop the drug use
 
Vegussucks

For starters
Mercedes benz, BMW,Toyota, VW,Audi,Mazda Ford all have very large manufacturing plants in SA. To name a few car manufacturers.

Diomonds ( debeers) Thats SouthAfrican

Gold , most of it comes from SA.

Platinum too.

Various electronics, I dont follow this to closely but know of Panasonic and Sony.

Appliances
Kelvinator Had a huge manufacturing facility in SA some years back. They even had a test centre here in the 60's were they would test new products as they found that no market was as tough on appliances as SA.
Electrolux( I worked for them in engineering ) wap, Hoover, Defy, AEG, to name a few off the top of my head.

In fact allot of stuff has been and still in manufactured in SA.

Like many western Country's we have lost allot of manufacture to China mainly in the appliance front.

I work in the vacuum cleaner business, I own a vacuum shop. I also consult on engineering front for small appliances.

Any case I am glad to have been given the chance to educate you a little :)
 
I wish you'd learn when you're being taught something, Vegas. Otherwise keep your comments to yourself and be prepared to learn something new.

NOT ALL Fakir vacuums are made in Germany. Here's a little example for you:

Also if you look at their range of cordless hand held vacuums AND the cordless stick vacuum, those are made in China. We have them in the U.K under the Dirt Devil brand and other budget brands.
