texas Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Siku changed ownership 2/3 (?) years ago. Upto then yes everything was German produced. However the new owners (who are manily accountants) changed things. I was told that the manufacture of parts had moved to China. Not sure what they do in Germany now, probably assembly? Not got a Siku box to hand but would be worth looking on a box to see what they say about country of origin. The most items are made in China. Then the items are shipt with no box to Germany. When the items are in Germany they go to Poland, where the items going into a box. Then the items going back to warehouse in Germany. Some items from siku are still produced and boxed in Germany.

Texas Thanks Texas, interesting about Poland. Cheaper labour than Germany presumably? Need to check the boxes for country of origin and see what they say!!
