Wrong!
For instance:
As previously noted, Acco-Peerless chain is made in the USA:
"Prior to the acquisition of most of Acco’s chain division by Peerless Chain in 2006, Acco’s chain was manufactured in York, Pennsylvania. After the acquisition, Peerless moved Acco’s production equipment to Winona, Minnesota, where the manufacturing is done today ..."
Campbell chain is made in in York, PA, and Cortland, NY.
Columbus McKinnon chain is manufactured in several US locations and Canada.

Re: Anchor Chain - China vs ACCO
If you read all the reviews in the internet, you will see that people have much better experience with Chinese made chain, than with American made Acco chain.
Titan is a good quality chain made in China and supervised by Canadian company.

Do you have references? I find this very hard to believe based on a very close friend's personal experience.

Re: Anchor Chain - China vs ACCO
We went with Maggi. Too many bad reviews from friends about Acco. https://maggichainsna.com/price-list

Re: Anchor Chain - China vs ACCO
Look in this forum. There are several threads about Acco and anchor chain. 90% confirm, that everything is better than Acco.
