Mitutoyo has factories all over the world. My Mitutoyo combination square
was made in Mexico. They used to have a factory in the Chicago area
(Aurora, I believe) but closed it down last year.

Hi. Where are Mitutoyo micrometers made? I thought they were made in
Japan, but I see one on eBay that the seller says is made in Brazil.

Thanks for any help on this question.

Mitutoyo is a Japanese company, but they make some of their stuff in
Brazil (and have since 1974, according to their website). I have at
least one Mitutoyo instrument that's made in Brazil.
