No, Hisense TVs are not Canadian made, although they are widely sold and serviced in Canada. Hisense is a Chinese multinational company headquartered in Qingdao, Shandong Province, China. It was founded in 1969 and is owned by Hisense Group, a state-owned enterprise. All of its TV panels and most final assembly happen in China, Mexico, and more recently in its factory in Rosarito, Mexico, which supplies much of the North American market including Canada and the United States. What does exist in Canada is Hisense Canada, a subsidiary and distribution arm based in Toronto and Vancouver that handles marketing, sales, import compliance, French-English packaging required by Canadian law, and warranty service. Some of its TVs are certified for Canada with specific tuners for Canadian broadcast and energy efficiency ratings, and it has partnerships with Canadian retailers like Best Buy Canada, Costco Canada, Visions, and Canada Computers. So while you are buying from a Canadian retailer and getting Canadian warranty support, the TV itself is designed in China and assembled in China or Mexico, not manufactured in Canada.

No, Hisense is not Canadian made, it is Chinese brand with manufacturing primarily in China, though Hisense has some assembly operations in other countries and sells widely in Canada through Best Buy Canada, Costco Canada, and other retailers. Hisense was founded in 1969 in Qingdao, Shandong Province, China, originally as Qingdao No. 2 Radio Factory, now headquartered in Qingdao, China, with main factories in Qingdao, China producing TVs, refrigerators, and appliances, plus factories in other countries like Mexico, South Africa, and Czech Republic for regional markets, but no manufacturing plant in Canada. Hisense TVs sold in Canada at Best Buy Canada, Costco Canada, Walmart Canada, and Canadian Tire are imported from China and Mexico, with Hisense Canada subsidiary handling distribution, warranty, and service through third-party service centers, not manufacturing. Canadian-made TV brands are limited, as most TVs sold in Canada are imported, with some assembly by other brands but not Hisense. Hisense has grown to third largest TV maker globally by volume, with over 20 million TVs annually, but manufacturing remains primarily Chinese with vertical integration making own panels through partnerships. So Hisense is not Canadian made, it is Chinese brand made in China and Mexico, imported into Canada, with Canadian operations focused on sales and service, not manufacturing, offering good value with prices 30 to 50 percent lower than Sony and Samsung due to Chinese manufacturing efficiencies.
