Not All SIGG’s Are Made in Switzerland!
August 8, 2008Some may have questioned my earlier story about the SIGG factory in China. SIGG’s are made in Switzerland, we all know that! Well today, the CEO of SIGG spilled the beans: more and more SIGG’s are made in China! Check it out:
“We have received some consumer questions and prefer to be extremely clear about where our bottles are made,” said SIGG CEO Steve Wasik. “We have full-time Swiss employees on the ground in China at the factories to ensure these specialty products meet our stringent quality standards. Several of our loyal consumers have told us that when they see the SIGG brand, they expect to get a Swiss-made product – and we agree!”
Yes, Mr. CEO. We expect a Swiss-made product! Yet you’re outsourcing to China? I think someone is being a little sneaky! I’d suggest clearly marking your bottles to reflect your commitment to the Chinese economy, human rights, and labor practices. I don’t like Chinese human rights policies, and that is another reason why My SIGG Sucks.
