Not sure exactly who actually "manufacturers" Crofton appliances ... trying to figure that out myself so I can get a replacement crock-pot lid. But apparently Crofton is a private-label (house brand) for the Aldi chain.
2009-07-04 I own several Crofton small appliances and have been very happy with most of them. Although the booklets which accompany them generally say "Germany", which is the home of Aldi, the low prices on these items say "No way are these manufactured in Germany!" Most likely, these items are manufactured in China. Still, in most cases, the quality ranges from 'very satisfactory' to 'exceptional', especially considering the price!
Here is an article by ApplianceGuy on applince.net, indicating that a Crofton personal blender is manufactured in China (this item has since been improved - I own the newer, safer version):

Signature Gourmet™ or Crofton® is printed on the front of the base of the unit. "SB-19" or "W14A3691" is located on a label at the bottom of the unit.
