I could be wrong but I was under the impression that Tomalco flex track has always been made by micro engineering. ME just didn¡¯t have the right to sell it direct even though they made it. Basically Tomalco subcontracted the production through ME. I¡¯m sure this is why it was logical that ME would just go ahead and purchase the rights to Tomalco flex since they already made it.
This is no different than American Models having their molds at a manufacturing facility elsewhere, so while American Models owns the molds, they aren¡¯t the ones using them. That other company is the one that actually produces the American Models products for AM to sell. This is the same with Tomalco. ME is the one with the molds in hand that is manufacturing the flex track for Tomalco to sell. But Tomalco actually owned the molds.
