Fiberglass Horn Flares

With regards to some kind of automation in Fibreglass  products. It has to be relative to your output needs. In the past, some have gone down the foam mould route, but I don't believe that these products have the integral strength of glass. Many years ago when I did the Reflekta system, I paid around 10K for a fibreglass moulding machine. This gave me a good finnish both sides, and only took 20 mins before the mould was open. The idea of this machine was to have all your moulds lined up and you inject them one by one. Great idea, except I only had one mould built, They were expensive to build because they are similar to plastic injection moulds. In the end, for my own needs there wasn't the need to make hundreds at a time. Now I just mould conventionally if and when I need something. It's still satisfying, (and a relief) when the horn pops off after one tap.

You reading all of this time my request and still not offered you product line here for me and others who may potentially be interested in your product. Instead looking for every opportunity to heat up this topic !?

I don't sell my horns as a spare part, that why, sorry

There are different plastic materials and components available today on the market. Each needs a different manufacturing process.
Some time ago I have worked with engineering research team to develop a special heat resistant exhaust manifold for American Ford motor company.

Making a horn from fiberglass is just one method. In mass-production different material has to be in use that will still provide a solidstrength for this application.
Just like a one shoot make plastic garden chair. Holds the average person weight, yet UV resistant and they can last.
That's how much the technology improved today.

Using the old fiberglass hand made method may make a horn stronger and more durable but for sure will cost us more.
I personally would rather build the enclosure and surrounding support for the plastic horn strong instead of applying heavy material into the horn itself.

The end of the day it's all about the quantity without jeopardizing much on the quality.
Once the process is developed and mass production is on the rest is about the marketing and sales.
On volume price can drop significantly.

My original post intent to get information where can I purchase this horns in North America.
Again thanks for everyone for the time and response.
