Athlon Optics Made Where ???

[JoeWayneRhea]

I saw on optics planet the other day a " Made in USA" sticker on an Athlon scope ....Have they moved their operation stateside ? I'm like 99% positive that when I spoke to them all but their most expensive scope (Japan) was made in China ...And before this thread takes an Anti-China turn .....I'm just curious . Thanks

From Athelon: "Hi Thurmond,
Thank you for your email. We produce our products in both Japan and China. I think what he is referring to on our boxes is where it says USA Company. We are a USA based company in the Kansas City area.

Thank you
Trent

So there it is Joe.

Yeah, Midas is made in China as is Talos. Cronos I am guessing is Japan, unsure of Ares. The USA company means little as to where it is made, only that support and perhaps technical repairs handled stateside.
