Where are Mitutoyo Micrometers Made?
 

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.

Hi. Thank you for pointing that out.

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.

FWIW, my Mitutoyu Vernier is marked "Made in Japan".

What you have to worry about is when China starts outsourcing to the
USA.
