Ideally made in Europe, but European-based companies are fine too, as realistically many will always need to be manufactured in China, Japan, or wherever else (especially tech). Looking for physical products, not software (amazing open-source software is bountiful and easy to find!)

Does not necessarily have to be from the EU (e.g. UK or Switzerland), non-EU countries are cool too!

What are some quality products that you have used that were made in Europe / is by a European company? From any category.

Lego itself is also a Europe-originating product. I don't know where their manufacturing facilities are, though.

checks Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego

Moulding is done in Denmark, Hungary, Mexico, China, Vietnam and the United States. Brick decorations and packaging are done at plants in the former three countries and in Czechia.

So "all over", I guess.

EDIT: You don't seem very enthusiastic about Lego. I'll say that I have fond memories of Lego, though over the decades they've kind of shifted towards licensed stuff that is less-appealing to me. I understand that some of their spin-off licensed products, like some of the Star Wars Lego video games, are considered to be pretty decent, but personally I liked their generic "Space", "City", "Medieval", "Technics" building blocks stuff. Kind of the Erector set of a later generation.
