Parasol made in ???

Sonnenschirm made in ???

Dear Migros Yesterday I was at Do it to buy a parasol. I looked in vain for the declaration of origin in the description and on the sewn-in label of the umbrellas on display. Where are the Glatz umbrellas made? Why is this information neither on the label nor in the specification? https://www.doitgarden.ch/de/p/753145900081/suncomfort-by-glatz-shell-turn-330-cm

In Frauenfeld TG

I don't think so. Frauenfeld TG is the headquarters of Glatz AG. This Swiss family business produces sunshades according to Swiss design. - However, I have not found any information on the Glatz website about WHERE the parasols are produced. https://www.glatz.ch

With Swiss made, everything is made in Switzerland. With Swiss designed, it is designed and the distribution is coordinated in Switzerland. EDIT: I'm not sure what that means for production, but it would be interesting to hear the answer from Migros ^^ No China for once. Oh well.

Where can you read that the production facilities are in DE, AT and FR?

As added (haii you are quick to reply😂) partly in part.↵↵EDIT: HAD READ ME ON THIS PAGE. I've corrected it. Nevertheless, I would be interested to know what "Designed by" means↵↵↵But I would still wonder with this particular article whether it is simply the Glatz Designed and the brand is in turn a completely different one and is manufactured further away?

@Apis Above the red Swiss Made logo, it says SWISS MADE again in small, gray letters and an i in a circle to the right of it. If you click on this, a small piece of information pops up: "Developed, designed and manufactured in Switzerland". https://www.glatz.ch/de/schirme/sortiment/180-00-220-751-52-523 If you do the same with the Swiss Design logo, it says: "Developed and designed in Switzerland". This means that these umbrellas are manufactured somewhere abroad. https://www.glatz.ch/de/schirme/sortiment/easy-172-00-301-751-150

Thank you for the helpful hint, dear Nachtspalter!

Hello Apis, thank you for your contribution. The parasol is "Made in China" - you will find this information on the label between the price and the barcode. The country of origin is also printed on the packaging. I'm sorry that you missed this information in the specifications. The responsible department has been informed of your feedback. Kind regards, Luisa

Dear Migros I am disappointed! In fact, I and apparently the other participants in this forum were misled by the information available. We were under the impression that the umbrellas were produced in Europe. Despite wearing reading glasses, I did not see the reference between the price and the barcode. - Was this customer deception intentional or a lack of interest in a clear declaration of origin?

Hello Apis, thank you for your feedback. The country of origin information is clearly printed on the label and packaging. I can assure you that it is in no way our intention to mislead our customers. Nevertheless, I have gladly forwarded your feedback to the responsible department. Best regards, Tabea
