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.

sabai,
Thank you for explaining, I understand why your upset.  It is a shame that the company refused to do the right thing, to me the difference between good an bad customer service is a big deal.  I wish all companies operated under the Odyssey and Bryston models.      
OBVIOUSLY , if they just stick NORWAY on back they ARE trying to sucker you . 
I assume that none of you that are so preoccupied about the country of manufacture have equipment, TVs, computers, or cell phones made in China...

jetter,

You're welcome. I feel the same way you do. Without good customer service where do we stand in high end audio? There are a lot of top companies who give exemplary service, and I have mentioned a few that I particularly like. Once you have done some due diligence it is easy to avoid companies that have a poor reputation.

schubert,

Yes, this is simply misleading.
