Ongoing cost saving. Moving production from (Expensive) Germany to less expensive Poland (for the items with the highest intellectual property value - so Fusion) and moving the Mach3 to less expensive ZAO Petersburg Products and shipping the DE production out to (cheapest) Vietnam (If Burma or Laos were capable they'd be doing it there instead).
Basically they want to keep production of the stuff with the highest IP value in "sensible" places where there is strict institutional control, dropping it down the value chain as new higher value items are developed.
P&G are always doing this...
Incidentally ZAO Petersburg Products was a proper Soviet era factory... If Lenin himself had walked around the corner, you would not be surprised.
