  • Keep. The problem is LTD, which is the name of a UK subsidiary with only 66 employees. Company headquarters is in Germany. See http://www.igus.co.uk/default.asp?PAGE=ABOUTIGUS. Among the tens/hundreds of thousands of google hits you will find a number of industry news, reviews, articles about the company and its product lines. A sample article here, [1]. Plastic ball bearings and connectors is not the most exciting subject in the world, but within manufacturing industries people do seem to care. As a large production company that manufactures tens of thousands of products from factories around the world, well over 1,000 employees, and worldwide distribution, it's rather notable within its field. For another source see the profile in Fast Company magazine[2]. Wikidemo (talk) 18:35, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak keep - really in bad need of improved (indeed, any) references. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:28, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
