Attention: diverse counterfeits around !

Dear SKARAT customers,
For many years, we at SKARAT (formerly steel4you) have stood for excellent quality, fast shipping, and customer service. We pay our taxes and high levies here in Germany and provide employment. We are also socially committed by involving people with disabilities in the production process. We use environmentally friendly production processes, components, and packaging materials.

Unfortunately, we are currently being attacked online by various imitators who are blatantly and cheaply copying our products. The distribution of SKARAT counterfeits takes place primarily via platforms such as Amazon, eBay, Temu, etc. We have already blocked several dealers, but unfortunately, these cannot be contained, and the number is constantly increasing. A kind of "Far East offensive" is underway that threatens our existence in the long term. Unfortunately, no EU country is taking any action to combat this and protect its local dealers.

The worst part is that we're now receiving numerous complaints from customers about poor product quality, and our hard-earned brand name is being dragged through the mud. These products, which are the subject of complaints, usually don't originate from us, which the customers can't possibly know.

How do you identify counterfeit wind turbines?

- At SKARAT, we grind the surfaces meticulously and evenly in a brushing process. Both sides of a stainless steel sheet are always brushed.
- The stainless steel used is of high quality and rust-proof.
- We adhere to our specified rotor diameters (e.g., 20cm / 28cm / 40cm / 65cm) identically.
- The rotor blades are all cleanly and identically curved. No imbalance occurs
- Our ball bearings are neatly pressed in using a press process (not welded, etc.)
- Our base posts consist of several screwable aluminum elements (no thin base plugs)
- Our items bear a sticker with our brand name/logo
- The packaging boxes have a SKARAT sticker

If you are unsure whether you have purchased a counterfeit or an original product, please feel free to send us pictures for verification. It is also always helpful to know when and where you purchased the product.

The safest way to avoid buying counterfeits is to buy directly from the manufacturer – i.e., directly from us at www.skarat.de

We sincerely thank you for your cooperation and customer loyalty.

Please support us in this endeavor.

Your SKARAT Team
