TapBoss Posted April 25, 2022 #2 Posted April 25, 2022 Umm, never new Gates to have a plant in China. They did move some operations down to Mexico years ago though so maybe that's possible. 1

Don W Posted April 26, 2022 #6 Posted April 26, 2022 Seems a darn shame companies have to move out of country to get better tax breaks. Lots of lost jobs here at home. Quote 1
Joe Breaux Posted April 28, 2022 #7 Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) well, blame unions and democrats for making labor costs of $60 /hr for a guy pushing a button on a robot .. If that belt was Union made in NY or CA it would be $300.00 I have found GATES to still be good quality belts even tho its imported.. Dont buy the EL CHEAPO brand at Autozone.. I did once because Gates was out of stock.. lasted 2 months . Luckily I had put the old belt in the trunk. Edited April 28, 2022 by Joe Breaux brainfart 2
