Firstly, is there any reason for them to be coming? Secondly, with regards to the last option, it's good to remember that in business, people can change instantly...

Absolutely not. Why would I show a competitor my processes?
Things that I learned through trial and error to become more efficient and now have a competitive advantage to anyone entering the market? Why is no one here screaming NOOOOOOO!?

If it's possible that they will compete with your business after seeing this machinery, then no.
