Made in USA Tea Kettle
This weeks’ requests included where to find tennis shoes and Tea kettles made in the USA. Links are included.
The Tea Kettle was a tough one. I researched many brands. The Pfaltzgraff website really gives the impression that their goods are made in the USA. When in fact none of the pfaltzgraff brands are made in the US.
So is there really a tea kettle made in US? The closest contender is Medelco Brand. The parts are German, assembly occurs in the US.
5/23/09 – Another option…. The Chantal Classic Enamel on Steel is produced in Germany. This information comes by way of the Chantal Corp as of 6/6/08.
Chantal is now telling consumers that their products are made in Germany and Asia… per blog below 4/26/10
Thanks for asking! Keep the requests coming!

Nothing seems to be created in the “right” countries anymore. All the big (but not also medium and even small) companies find more profitable producing everything in the east of the world. And tennis shoes are no exceptions…. Even the fakes problem is nearly getting meanless, I think. Most of the times fake items are made in the same factories by the same workers and with the same materials. What’s the difference? This way you lose the enjoyment of having something special when you buy expensive top brand tennis shoes (or whatever else). I’m not sure Gucci tennis shoes are manufactured in Italy, for example. Most probably not, and I couldn’t find this information anywhere…..

Chantal is made in Germany and Asia, I emailed them and asked and that was their response. I assume Asia means China

I’ve previously inquired on small appliances from Farberware with no luck. They are owned by Applica Consumer Products who is a subsidary of Salton. I believe all of Salton’s products are made over seas.
If anyone has any definitive information or other resources I can check on the farberware products, please let me know so I can do the additional research. Thanks

I’ve read that Farberware is no longer an American company and products are made in China. I don’t know who to believe.

These tea kettles are not made in the USA but they are handmade in England. Reasonably priced as well.
