Where are Greenworks products made?
Changzhou, China is documented in the 2016 corporate release. Greenworks’ January 2023 announcement and the Tennessee Municipal League’s report confirm the Morristown US manufacturing opening. The US site does not cover every consumer handheld tool. [1][2][3]
Is Greenworks made in China or the USA?
Both China and US manufacturing are documented, with different product scopes and dates. The Tennessee plant supports commercial equipment; do not assume every Greenworks product sold in America is assembled there. [1][3]
Same factory, different label
The Globe/STIHL relationship supports a corporate investment and development partnership. It does not prove that every Greenworks tool is a relabeled STIHL product or uses interchangeable batteries. [1]
