The popular and affordable Parkside tool brand, sold at Lidl and Kaufland, doesn’t have the straightforward “Made in Germany” origin many consumers believe. An investigation reveals that multiple companies are actually responsible for manufacturing Parkside products, despite the brand's marketed German association. Lidl and Kaufland themselves do not produce the tools. This raises questions about the true source of Parkside’s quality and affordability. The report aims to uncover the actual manufacturers behind the popular tools. It also provides guidance on identifying the original manufacturer of specific products and locating replacement parts, assisting consumers in understanding where their tools come from and ensuring future repairs. Consumers are encouraged to look beyond the branding to understand the tools' production.
