BSH (Bosch, Siemens, Neff brands) have their main production sites in Europe, a lot in Germany still. But of course China as well. https://www.bsh-group.com/about-bsh/bsh-worldwide/

Miele (at a more premium price point) production is even more concentrated in Germany. https://m.miele.com/en/com/production-sites-2157.htm

(Edit: No replies after 8 hours, but of course they then came in quickly after Europe woke up..)

Thanks !

On Miele, they sure seem to make a sizeable effort to keep as much as they can in Germany, including the motors, electronics etc.

They seem to expand vacuum cleaner factories in China as well, but it could be the best of both world with a company dedicated to push the local ecosystem as much as they can, and go beyond when absolutely needed.

These are competitive on quality, but are they on price and scale?

How many US homes have a Bosch/Miele washer/dryer vs LG/Samsung? (Outside of NYC).
