There is some info out there but I think the company may be defunct. The website no longer works
 Made in Maple Ridge

I would foster a guess that they were a typical made in China, assembled locally type of scenario.  Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Nope, made and assembled in the Ridge! Not many of them kicking around! Great reel to say the least! If I didn't have one already, I would purchase this!
