No rotors are made in USA anymore. Except specialty cars - such as race cars.
All are manufactured in China, Mexico, or Taiwan. Taiwan having the best quality of the bunch.

Always purchase a name brand for such. The box should state a brand name. As many boxes that rotors come in have no writing whatsoever.

Only one company makes brake pads for passenger cars in the USA. The rest again, come from China, Mexico, or Taiwan.

Japan company with factory iin USA.

But someone with automotive knowledge may find more Made in USA. For ordinary/passenger cars and trucks.

Many of the brand names are USA companies - but the actual product comes from foreign sources.
