The offshore manufacturing is is mixed bag for me. Many of those companies/countries have proven they can make fine products, right along side the junk. To me, it’s a matter of quality control by the company ordering, and allowing the engineers to overrule the accountants. Then putting trusted personnel in charge of the quality control inspections.
Based on their background, an old line German firm gives me a better feeling.
(I’m ignoring the current mess a certain aircraft manufacturer is in, in my backyard, in the town I was born in.)
