The original F1 Ultralight stoves were manufactured in France. I have two of them which both have "MADE IN FRANCE" printed on the box. Four years ago the Coleman Exponent manufacturing facility was moved to China. I too go out of my way to buy products made elsewhere, but just like Japan a few decades ago, I wonder how many years from now, if ever, will we seek out products made in China? Zoom-in on photo to see.

Manufacturing changes often from place to place, but because Coleman has been manufacturing for many years in China, I would believe their website. The worry is if it's a quality factory or one that doesn't uphold good manufacturing principles. I suspect because of Coleman's longtime relationship with many of the factories that it knows how to play the game and produce excellent goods coming from there. I have a big problem with China made goods myself. It's becoming more and more a concern for me...
