Ribtec in S. Africa

I am well aware as to the banter of product quality going downhill since the factory was moved overseas, but in which year did ribtec move the factory? Just want to know whether a boat i'm looking at has its origins in SA or the UK.
Cheers all you FOAK out there

Ring Ribtec aftersales.

I think Mandy Merit wil be able to help to determine exactly where it was built.

Plus the hull stamp on the bow on the starboard side will have a year and UK in it if UK built (Take a mirror its stamped backwards)
