Livinox, HCE are not German based. They just claimed to use German technology but either made here or China. HCE is from China.

Teka have manufacturing facilities globally. Some in China. Some in Thailand. Some in Europe. Only their high-ends are made in Germany. Typical of global organization. Blanco is almost entirely made in Germany.

Those made in China can be high quality too. Your iPhones are all made in China and nobody seems to complain. The only thing is image/perception as well as quality consistency. While u still may get shitty stuff from Germany and Japan it is not likely. Whereas anything is possible from China.

The bottom line regardless of country of origin, read the specs. Understand the technology used. Don't be duped by marketing jargons such as German technology. Understand what exactly is the technology.

For sink, what is the materials used, thickness, depth, damping materials, warranty etc are more important
