Shop-Vac vacuums in the future could contain a “made in China” label.

GreatStar Tools USA Inc. that owns Shop-Vac informed employees in Williamsport Friday of downsizing plans that include layoffs and moving some production to China.

GreatStar is part of Hangzhous GreatStar Industrial Co. headquartered in Hangzhous, China, that acquired the assets of Shop-Vac in December 2020, three months after the former owners began a phased shutdown.

The ChiComs bought Shop-Vac during COVID when nobody was looking and are moving its factory over there.
