They have been in business for over 10 years now, the first one relased in 2013 even if it wasn't really "fair" as today's model, more of a rebrand that guaranteed that workers in China were treated fairly. Still they operate on very low volumes and probably on razor thin margins that don't allow for big R&D projects but so far they have been profitable at least.
