For Zeiss, the FL's are made in Germany, all others are made in Hungary.
For Swaro and Leica, all are made in Austria and Germany, respectively.
"Made" means assembled, and there may be parts contracted in Hungary by Zeiss, Portugal by Leica, and the Czech Republic (Meopta) by Swarovski.
All three factories outside Germany and Austria are top-notch in terms of quality control. Their workers are some of the most skilled/best trained in the world

My Leica Ultravid 10x25 says "Made by Leica Portugal".

Leica compacts have almost always been produced in Portugal with german glass. Quality is superb.
