I recently got back from a trip to LA and was lucky enough to get a tour of the Celestron facility there. Although most of the scale manufacturing is done in Asia these days, some precision parts, repairs and QA are still done in the USA. As is all the management, marketing and product development.
Anyway it was super interesting and impressive and there's a very quick vlog video about it on my youtube if anyone's interested in taking a peek.
