This page covers that production program and its proposed phased closure at the end of 2027, without assigning a particular model to Germany or Lithuania before the planned transfer. [3]
Is Cannondale made in China or the USA?
The confirmed European assembly does not mean every frame and component is European-made. US or Chinese production for an individual model is not public in the reviewed sources in this dated source set. [3]
Same factory, different label
Pon owns several bicycle brands, and its statement describes a move toward shared production capacity. That does not prove that any two specific retail models are made on the same line or to the same specifications. [1] [3]
Where was your saucepan made?
A company address and a country of manufacture answer different questions. Start with your exact model.
- Check the underside, attached tag and original packaging for an origin statement.
- Record the product name and model or item number.
- Ask the brand about that item if only an importer or distributor address appears.
