Johnson moved to Canada because of US reg's, taxes and labor costs and has a production plant in Mexico. The added "plus" is that those of us in the US now pay higher import tariffs from those countries. So both the Companies and our government our raking in our money.

Saw other postings that said Optima made in Mexico now (?).

We're on a down hill slope. Bought a Timken wheel bearing (thinking top-of-the-line). Came in their Timken box but marked made by FAG in Canada. Adding injury to deception, Timken marked up FAG's (US) retail cost (literally) 200 %. Timken's little box is very expensive.
