    This is notably missing Husqvarna which makes great saws and stuff.

    Scheppach may be German, but their products are all generic, cheap, white label Chinese designs. Not sure that counts.

    I’m aware most if not all of these companies produce in China, but at least it’s their designs in many cases.

    Caran d’Ache are Swiss… Their pens are really nice. Leuchtturm 1917 (German) and Moleskin (Italian) make good notebooks (the paper kind)

      Ugh, me neither. Bought by Snap-On according to Wikipedia:

      Bahco is a Swedish brand within the hand tool industry, which is now part of SNA Europe, part of Snap-on.

    Shocked that Leitz is no longer German, but an US company. 😲

    @Blaze: are doing anything else that posting in BuyEuropean? 😉

    To the list one could add the French Clairefontaine and Rhodia (paper, notebooks)

    I’m not a pro of these, but Isn’t there also that hardware line of power-tools from Lidl, ‘Parkside’?

    An anecdote that illustrates the biggest problem for me with these. I’m portuguese and I’ve never even heard of Bi-office, let alone see them in stores.

    There has to be an incentive for shops to market these (other than the tariffs). We need euro or EU markings.

    Not European, but I use mostly Makita tools. Anything not American is a winner.
