There's no disputing European craftsmanship, but with all the CNC technology today, pretty much anyone in the world can rival them.

From Roger over on the Tunze Forums:
"The power supply is also made in China, to be technically exact it is made in Hong Kong which is now a Chinese territory. We took over a year to source the power supply and tested just about every manufacturers power supply, these were the coolest running with no fan and that is why they were chosen. Power Supplies, like magnets are something that is almost exclusively made in China. The pump is still made in Germany at the Tunze factory in Penzberg. "
So yeah even the German stuff is Chinese.
