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.
