Brand origin and manufacturing country

The catalog lists 3M origin as United States. This does not mean that every product carrying the brand is manufactured in that country. International brands often use factories and supply chains in several countries.

If the manufacturing country of a specific item matters, check the product label, packaging, rating plate or the manufacturer’s documentation.

Good to know: a brand’s country of origin, a company’s legal headquarters and the manufacturing country of a particular product can all be different.
