Gee... that is not good to hear. I called them directly and asked
before I posted my message. They said the boards for the switching
line are made overseas, and so are some of the metal cases, now. They
put the feet and labels on those over here.
They said the linear supplies are made 100 percent here in the US.
Too bad to hear the quality may be lower on the foreign-made stuff.

The soldering on the Astron linear power supplies is some of the worst
ever seen. I thought they outsourced the board assembly from CA.. to
Mexico. Maybe just to South CA? In about half a dozen I have repaired,
the leads were not clipped after soldering, the solder is marginally
flowed, and boards were not cleaned post soldering.
