Adidas blades made in china?

[tsastra]

Hello
I'm new to the forum. While on my search for my first decent blade. I came across some adidas blades for a realyy nice price. I know alot of retailers are discounting their products since adidas stopped producing tabletennis equipment.
But I noticed that the box says made in china? I was wondering if this is correct and is adidas TT equipment made in china? or could these blades be fakes?

They were made in China. Quality was always very high in my experience though. I doubt they will be fakes, but you never know.

Correct, Adidas blades was made in China
Just like many of your top Tier 1 brands too

Made in China also has quality products

The Sunflex factory in Zhongshan has been producing OEM for about 40(!!!) brands.
Quite likely people held Sunflex equipment in their hands without even knowing.

Xiom also have some too

Its only the Swedes (Stiga and Yasaka) that has made in Sweden (they own country)
I also think some of the Japanese brands TSP/Victas are made in Japan, and some are made in China?

Also, DHS blades are made in China, and they aren't poor quality

yes that is right, although i miss those xiom novus blades before. their quality was really good.

I don't know who took over the separate production line of Adidas inside the Sunflex factory. Adidas told me before that although the aforementioned blades are made in the same factory, Adidas has a separate production line or facility inside that factory. I am hoping ITC did since they took over the remnants of Adidas TT when it closed.

The fact that something is cheated in china does not mean that it is inferior. Many professions are produced there. Everyone is accustomed that if it is "made in china" it means that the product is cheap and counterfeit. And yet it is not always the case.

Thanks for the answers. I picked up a C500 and a V1.3. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep them actually.
