This is a fact of life in our globalized society. As long as you bought a name brand product like Bosch, you should be assured of Bosch's quality regardless of where it was made. It was made to Bosch's standards and quality. I bought recently a Bosch voltage regulator, it was made in Spain. I replaced the antenna on my car with an automatic antenna made by Hirschmann. Strangely enough, it was made in China. These companies are original part suppliers to Mercedes Benz, and once manufactured in Germany only.
