Been shopping around for a ceiling fan too.
According to one of the friendly salesman, (ie read at your own risk, disclaimer qualified)
1. Vento- designer brand, made in Taiwan
2. Fanco- Singapore brand made in China
3. Crestar- German technology, made in Taiwan (claims to have an aluminium engine)
4. Amarsco- made in Taiwan.
5. Acorn- made in Taiwan
6. Elmark- china made
According to him, the Taiwanese ceiling fans are considered the best globally.
I'm not too sure how true that is.
When we asked about the trusty KDK, he claims that KDK is strong in industrial fans and ventilators.
Apparently KDK used to manufacture their fans in Malaysia, but have recently shifted to China.
I'm using a fanco in my living room for past 4 years. Some metal parts are rusting a little.
otherwise, it is working well.
