HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?


Not unlike Ayon, where it is just printed "Austria" and not "Made in Austria" (the usual and official terminology), are HEGEL products actually made and assembled in Norway or just "designed" in Norway and assembled somewhere in China?

I have tried getting a clear-cut answer from dealers with no success. Juste like for Ayon gear by the way.

Thanks if you can help.

As I stated in a earlier post why the(respected) reviewers never mentioned Hegel was made in China? Maybe I'm living in an "Audio Utopia" but I always thought audio reviewers were on our side?

I don't speak Norwegian, so I'll have to take your word for it.

It's ironic that most of the Norwegian Hegel staff does not especially enjoy Chinese food and it is rarely, if ever, served at company functions, no matter where they are held, and no matter where the food was prepared.

I used to work in a manufacturing company (not audio equipment). When we sent out new products for review, a bottle of wine comes with it or any other little perks that they ask for was given as a gift. The truth is big fish always eat the small fish (million dollar company vs reviewer). Welcome to capitalism.
