I think it should also be stamped on the components as well.

My initial search turned up nothing.
But, I found out where their parts are made.
Their groupsets are manufactured in China, Malaysia, and Singapore.
The reason I asked was because my DA7800 parts were coming in from China.
I compared my parts to authentic DA parts online.
I'm satisfied that they are authentic.

They are trying to hide it so that people won't be ashamed of having non-American parts. You should legally have to tell everyone at all times that it is a non-American product, so in case they missed the day-glo "Not made in AMERICA" lettering they would know that you are an enemy.

Google "comparitive advantage;
Read The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith,
and read Capitlism and Freedom by Milton Freidman, and report back.

Yeahhh, I just get so flummoxed by the whole "Turn a 'Made in Taiwan' sticker into a Scarlet Letter" mentality. Probably the wrong thread for it, but I was really tired yesterday afternoon. Sry.

All my DA/Ult stuff has Japan stamped on it too, but it all came "from" China/Taiwan.
Wikipedia says that their manufacturing plants are in China.
I don't know what the laws are in Japan as to how a Japanese manufacturer stamps their product
whether it be where the company is based or whether it is where the product is manufactured.
Anybody work in a LBS that's installed DA bits?
Did you notice by any chance what the packaging said?
