Kox chains are made in canada and sell at about 10% less than oregon.Oregon manufactures in USA, Canada, Brazil, and China, that I know of. Not sure if the KOX is manufactured in Europe?
Usually, the consumer chain packages are marked with the country of origin. I have seen some labeled "Assembled in China with components manufactured in USA or Brazil'. So this is probably a fluid thing.
I believe that China is capable of making high quality stuff, if QC/QA is important to the company. They make most of our high tech cell phones, laptop computers, etc. They are also capable of turning out total crap, if the customer wants stuff made as cheap as possible. Some of this responsibility falls on the company and the consumer, as well as the manufacturer.
