Apollo Bio-Fins Made in Japan?

[ciocca1]

I just picked up a set of Apollo Bio Fin Pros and noticed they are made in Japan. Not that that matters......but did they used to be made in the USA back when they were first introduced? Just curious....

No, I think Apollo has always been a Japanese manufacturing company. They have a North American distribution company, I think it is formally Apollo USA, run by a nice guy...Michael Brennan.

yes, I thought Apollo is basically a Japanese company. Harder to tell now but I recall reading that back when they started, or at least when they started selling products in the US.

That is good information. A lot smaller organization than I thought it would be.

Yes, it is less than a piece of cake compared to ScubaPro's $88.1 mill last year.
