On January 14, the Athearn division of Horizon Hobby announced that delivery of some new products may be delayed by the unexpected shutdown of one of its contract manufacturers in China. Athearn’s announcement came after international financial agencies reported that Creative Masters Limited (CML) had filed for bankruptcy. Earlier reports said CML had not reported a profit since 2009. CML is headquartered in Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong, with manufacturing facilities in Donngguan, PRC.
