Built in Pennsauken, molded in Berlin
Princeton Tec's About page says its headquarters is in Pennsauken, New Jersey, "where all of our lights are constructed from concept to completion." The company also runs "a plastic injection molding facility and tool shop down the road in Berlin." It moved to Pennsauken from Bordentown, New Jersey, in 2016.
Bill Stephens founded the company in 1975, and it is still owned and run by the Stephens family.
Headlamps marked Made in USA
The current product pages for the Apex, Sync, Remix and Vizz 550 RGB headlamps each carry a "Made in USA" line, and we found no Princeton Tec page describing a light as imported. That covers the industrial and tactical Vizz models, the compact Fuel and the Remix Pro.
The site does not say where electronic components such as LEDs and batteries come from. Made in USA here refers to where the lights are designed, molded and assembled.
