Holy shit. Did you end up going with China after all? Can you share anything else from your experience? I'm in disbelief about what's going on, having emailed at least a dozen labs around Europe and receiving only one reply.
There's not much more to it yet, it's a large project and my first time trying something like this. I have selected few candidates and so far the cooperation with each of them was excellent, they are very skilled, proactive and keen businesspeople with good products for reasonable prices. I really wish the market here in EU was like that.
