If the manufacturing has moved away from the US does that count as part of the decline (think Corsair, NACRA, etc.).
Where are Corsairs built? All Nacra cats are still built in the US.
Corsair production was moved to Vietnam. Some final assembly (nut and bolt type stuff) may still take place here after shipping. I'm not sure if the company still considers itself US based. If it's US based but manufacturing takes place overseas, does that count?
I thought Nacra was bought by a European group. If they are still manufactured here, does that count as a domestic manufacturer or a foreign one?
Hobie US is domestic, but the Tiger is manufactured overseas. Does Tiger production count in their numbers?
Vectorworks builds Bimarre A-Cats - Italian manufacturer or domestic?
I guess the international aspect was more my question with regards to the article/survey, and whether the interest is in the location and health of the actual manufacturer or the parent company.
