Got this beater in a pile of sockets from Craigslist. Made in Sri Lanka.

That's more of a thing of past than present. Africa is next.

Looks like high quality pot-metal.

I thought India was the next China. Starting to show up in HF. India has been a source of rough castings, like man hole covers for a long time.

I have quite a few Sri Lanka’s myself....

Never saw any others until I was going through the sockets at the pawn shop I sold a toolbox of tools to about 15 years ago. Probably the same Sri Lanka sockets from that tool box haha

And then I see this post....

LOL funny this topic come up.... I was just at HF and looking at some casters, the cheaper ones are "Made in India" and the more top tier ones are "Made In Thailand" , the rest of the middle of the run are "Made In China" Weird right....

But have not seen "Made in Sri Lanka" yet.

One of the largest steel conglomerates in the world is Indian. Mittal Steel/ArcelorMittal, a collosus among an already absolutely massive Indian steel industry.

I could see Kenya and Nigeria becoming manufacturing powerhouses. China is investing heavily in Africa. Arguably setting up a series of debt traps over strategic ports and infrastructure, but that's a topic for another thread...

BMW already manufacturers X-series vehicles in South Africa...
