- codetrotter 4y ago> All our products are developed, designed and manufactured in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. That’s pretty weird for a company naming themselves “Micro Swiss”. Hopefully at least the person or people that started Micro Swiss have some kind of connection to Switzerland, like for example that there is some great-great-great-grandmother that came from Switzerland or something.
- joshvm 4y agoThis is an interesting example, because there are brands like PB Swiss Tools which are Swiss and have a good reputation. Micro Swiss is named so, because of the type of (micro) lathes they used originally to make the nozzles. I don't have a primary source but it seems reasonable. https://www.mmsonline.com/articles/understanding-swiss-type-machining https://www.mmsonline.com/articles/understanding-swiss-type-... See also the Swiss water process for decaffeinated coffee - the process was invented in Switzerland but it can be done anywhere (obviously). Though what about Swiss Miss cocoa? They've always been based in WI and have no connection.

- sschueller 4y agoYes it is violating the law. 100% US made and it has a Swiss cross in addition to the word Swiss in its logo/name. https://www.kmu.admin.ch/kmu/en/home/concrete-know-how/sme-management/labeling/swissness.html https://www.kmu.admin.ch/kmu/en/home/concrete-know-how/sme-m...
