I remember the Elektrons were made in Sweden. A real Swedish product. Then it was Poland. Not too far. Now it’s Vietnam. Where will be next? DRC?

I don’t think you know how production processes work. Most electronic components come from
the same place. Where they are put together is a separate process called assembly and what you are supposedly referring to. They’re not made in Sweden or Poland or China. They’re assembled in those countries.

I don’t know why I am bothering with this reply though because this is low level baiting / trolling and you repeat this comment over and over wherever you can. If someone is actually interested in the differences and what goes into production processes I already explained this here:

The ‘Made in X’ sticker is really misleading to consumers (just look at all the misconceptions in this thread) because the more accurate representation is ‘Assembled in X’. It’s sexy to consumers to have a product that says ‘Made in X’, and local governments (Poland not being an exception here) will typically require that it says ‘Made in X’ for exactly that reason. It’s a symbol of pride for that country.

Almost every part in the assembly process is already made; rarely anything gets “made” in the factory. You start with an empty chassis, you take a motherboard from a box and a line worker screws it in to the chassis. The chassis with the motherboard moves down the assembly line, and another worker installs other components on top of that. Then it goes on and on, until it reaches a testing station (that runs computer tests for passes and checks). Then there is an additional quality control check done by people who inspect for defects, loose components, misaligned elements etc.
