The 62C was made in Switzerland. I was an elna dealer for a long time and have used the elna machines. The ones made in Switzerland are the best. I have one like this with cams and I love the decorative stitches. I was lucky enough to visit the elna head quarters in Switzerland and watch the workers put together some of the first computer machines they made. They were so precise that only one person put together a whole machine. Another would test it and another would pack it. I was very impressed with their production of elna's. The plant was very clean. no dust anywhere. The whole country was like that.
