Monica s Hello! See below the responce from Nick Hollis below regarding their manufacturing:
"Most of our products are made here in San Leandro, California. We personally machine our regulator bodies from solid brass, then have the parts plated, tested, assembled and tested again. These same machines are used to CNC and cut all component parts for our underwater dive vehicles down to our very own LP and HP fittings. We build our digital and analog instrumentation in house for Hollis as well as OEM for dozens of other companies including Oceanic and Aeris. We also have a drysuit production team in house where rolls of patented Wearforce material are brought in, sheets are cut for each panel and size, they are then embroidered, sewn and hot glued; all here in the same building. We also do the final assembly and testing on one of few products not actually built here in San Leandro; BCD's. The BCD's are built at Hollis Industries in Wuxi, China a Hollis owned facility. These products are built using USA material exported from the same building here in San Leandro. They are built using an ISO procedure and to our specifications. This includes any molded product outsourced to China or Taiwan.

> There is a difference between having products built in china, and having products built in china in a facility you own and have control over. Without control of the workplace, you get a much different product. Most who see these labels would have the same reaction, but are unaware of our manufacturing differences."
