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.

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.

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.
