Last evening I was helping a friend modify several GPS tracking receivers. I noticed the following:
Circuit board Thailand
Battery Germany
Sockets China
Chips Japan & Taiwan
Housing Philippines
Capacitors Malaysia
Assembled Mexico
Sold U.S.A.
I have noticed that many of the former better manufacturers such as NuTone, now provide products that are mostly foreign made and have dropped their former lifetime warranties. I suppose it really is a global economy.
