Spoke to someone today that claims Assos products are now manufactured in the Far East. Can anyone coroborate?

I don’t think their clothing products have been made in Switzerland for a few years now. I believe the are manufactured in an eastern block country.

Assos owns its own factory in Bulgaria, with additional capacity in Greece. But it’s here in San Pietro where the R&D still takes place. Unlike many brands, production has never been outsourced to the Far East. ‘We only produce in Europe,’ says Désirée. ‘Our main factory is in Bulgaria and they work exclusively for us – all the shorts, tights and jerseys are made there.’
