I went to the factory a few decades ago in Ohio: https://www.davidlebovitz.com/inside-kitchena/

At the time, they told me they were the last small appliance made in America, the mixer. They also had a group of women, who previously worked in the factory on the line, who were customer service reps who anyone could call to answer questions or diagnose problems with their mixers.

Some have said the quality has slipped but I haven't noticed that. I do always get the mixers that go up and down, rather than the tilt head (which are smaller and less-expensive) so I wonder if the cheaper ones they sell aren't as well-made. But I saw people making them by hand which was really interesting.
