Yes, EC120 production is slow...

Eurocopter have made 669 EC120s since first deliveries in late 1998 is not a good record - that's about 50 per year.. In fact, since January 2010 the production rate has been just over 1½ per month - approximately 50 deliveries in 30 months. Of these 50 aircraft since January 2010, 21 were part of the bulk order of 36 for the Helidax training centre for French military pilots so there have only been 29 other deliveries in that time

5 of the last 20 produced have been delivered in Europe. Two to Switzerland, two to Poland and the most recent one to Sweden. A further four of those 20 were a single US police order.
