Where are these units made?
Message #1 Posted by Matthias on 11 Jan 2005, 4:06 p.m.

I only have sealed units of the following types and I do not want to open the box. Can you tell me if these are all made in China or if there are other place of manufactoring?

HP-12C Platinum HP-17BII+ HP-33S HP-39G+ HP-40G HP-48G+ HP-49GII HP-49G+

Thanks for your support

FWIW, the 48G+ was made in Indonesia only.

Correct!

Most (and all new) are build OEM by Kinpo (www.kinpo.com.tw) for HP so HP is not really involved in de thinking and building.

I am not sure kimpo is even involved in the making, I believe just the design. Manufacturing is then subcontracted to PRC
