Like HPAK and Tek products have been for decades.

"Assembled in USA" =  slapping the 'Assembled in USA' sticker on the finished and fully made in China product once it arrives in the USA... :-DD

Reminds me of an American friend here in Japan who used to make bespoke guitar amplifiers.
He would put an 'American made' sticker on because, well, it was made by an American! :D

I have the 375FC, as well as other Flukes that are “Assembled” in the US and older ones that were truly made in the US.  I also have Keysight bench gears that are made in Malaysia.  Honestly, I found no difference in their quality, durability, and ability to hold calibration. So nowadays, where it is assembled means little, as long as the manufacturer is not forced to cut corner to meet a price point. We have been outsourcing manufacturing overseas for over half a century, it can be done with no sacrifice to quality.  We can produce inferior products just as easily in the US, made in the US does not imply superior quality.

If all else is equal, of course I would prefer something made in the US. Unfortunately, as many others have explained, those days are long gone with the globalized economy. There is practically no consumer electronics made in the US any longer, with the exception of some ultra high end products in the audio gears.

In testing equipment world, limiting ourselves to US made products will not only limit our selection, we will often end up with a list of inferior designs.  So, yes, it is not what I would like to see, I have long adopted the approach of picking the best products, without regard to where it is made.  I love my Fluke 375FC, I hope you will with yours as well.
