Beta tools

[lanmaki4]

Does anyone know where are the beta tools made nowadays?

On those ones it says Italy


but on the new ones, there is nothing

My guess is China.......

Just because it's not marked you guys automatically assume it's from China?

AFAIK Beta is still made in Italy. The lack of country stamping has something to do with EU policy IIRC.

The EU is far more strict than you would think about origin something to the tune of 90% of maternal, plating and manufacturer must be from the country stamped on the tool.

The Germans will continue to put their country's name on there no matter what; they're a bunch of proud es-oh-bees.

All my Beta stuff is made in Italy.

The Germans will continue to pot their country's name on there no matter what; they're a bunch of proud es-oh-bees.

Please edit my quote - I misspelled a word.

actually the EU wanted that everything is marked as "made in EU" and no longer germany, italy etc. , but luckily that didn`t happen (maybe in the future...) ....

I've learned that Ko-ken supplies sockets for Beta. Whether it's current or past, or their entire socket lineup, I don't know.

yep i think too !


ps: The website states that they own 3 plants in italy . Beta, like almost all tool companies don`t produce everything on their own, they source their tools from everywhere like spain (locking pliers), france (locking pliers), germany (pullers) , and other places. I guess they make their own sockets, wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers etc.
