[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 576412, member: 4485"] Sadly Oliver isn't even Australian owned anymore (Honeywell since 2011). They closed manufacturing in Ballarat down 2017. AT's are made in China something I confirmed with Oliver after noticing Made in China on the tag of a new pair & thinking they were Australian owned/made. I thought I may have been ripped off but Oliver confirmed it was correct. Still a good boot & still last well so they must have good QA on their manufacturing. Don't know if I'll purchase again though given the current events I'd prefer to buy something Australian made or from an Australian owned company at the minimum. [/QUOTE]
