Is Haier made in China or the USA?

China is a documented part of Haier’s manufacturing footprint. The group also operates outside China; its GE Appliances business should not be treated as proof that every Haier-branded product is made in the United States. [1][2]

Same factory, different label

GE Appliances and Haier share the Haier Smart Home corporate portfolio. Sister-brand ownership supports a corporate cross-link, not a claim that every GE and Haier refrigerator comes from the same line or shares the same parts. [1]
