In at least one thread or post on this forum it was rumored that Vicmarc chucks were no longer made in Australia. I received an email today from a Vicmarc manager completely repudiating that rumor. He stated "We certainly make all our chucks and accessories right here in Australia and those rumors are completely untrue. We are not fazed by this as we have heard many rumors like this over the years. From my experience they seem to come from people trying to sell inferior Chinese chucks over ours."
