Of course, along the way in their travels some components they have sold may have been made in USA, but not many. They do some engineering, design and prototyping work at the Morgan Hill location.
At this time I think Merida has an interest in Specialized operations.
Reminds me of Craftsman as a brand. They never really ‘made’ anything per sr, but contracted with other brands (as far as stationary power tools go…Atlas, Belsaw, Parks, Emerson, etc) and put their logo on them. They may have had a hand in the design, though, just not the manufacture.
