welp this whole thread became a little bit longer, after researching, this statement turns out to be false.

BP is made in TW they dont have oem.

Barrow is made in China, share OEM with EK (not 100% sure since I don't know whether EK source all of their parts from the same OEM.)

 

Barrow seems to finally become legit in quality in the past 1~2 years.  They are now still selling mostly rip offs, but there is some new design too.

 

besides the look, their price is great in retailers in the US($2 cheaper).

$3~4 cheaper if in China. That's like 50% off.....

Minimum R&D + producing cost in China + market in China.  I guess they make their way into the market fairly clear.

If you can't afford BP, this really is a good deal, quality-wise no one has reported anything wrong with it so far.

 

and back to the look of often mocked BP logo.  I heard people saying you can ask BP to take that off.  Will try tonight when BP contacts start working.

I ain't sure why I cant access barrow's official website on my pc, but can use baidu(chinese google to view the mobile page..)(I am in NY atm)

but found the statement barrow made in 2014 stating they are made in china.  They actually advertised it as a strategy that they are made in china.

Chinese source

 

edited: forgot to mention, barrow do OEM as well, they are a subsidiary in Shandong of a Hong Kong company.
