I thought socialists were supposed to have a hard time moving their production to China? Sigg water bottles is the latest outdoor manufacturer to move some production to “select manufacturing partners in Asia.” (Read that as “China.”) Sigg has been making their steel bottles in their Swiss factory for over a century, but their new Steelworks line will be made in Asia.
For 365 days a year, the SIGG team works side by side with our Asian partners to ensure high Swiss quality standards are maintained. To reduce any confusion on manufacturing origin, all bottles branded “SIGG” are made directly by us in Switzerland. The limited stainless steel bottles we make in Asia will be branded “Steelworks“. Both of our brands will deliver the quality and trust you have come to expect from a Swiss manufacturer.
It’s a relief to know that the laser-cut Alien heads on the new Steelworks line will be cut to Swiss standards in Asia.

Let’s send all our jobs to China. Then we can just sit here and wait for them to er…send them back when we’re starving?
Never liked Sigg anyway.

This should avoid anyone realizing that they are made in China! Slick move!!!
