. (are even Thunder and Venture raws still at Ermico / SF / USA?)
Yes they are
Can you prove that?
Trust me, you can trust @mattdlx.
Can also personally verify that hangers & cast plates are poured at Ermico in SF, at least as of a couple weeks ago.
Pointech side of the building was humming too.
I’m glad we could straighten that out.

Are they titanium hangers made in America or are those trucks assembled "of foreign and domestic components"?
Excellent question, to which I say “I have no idea.”
I don’t know enough about the process to be able to tell what metal is which in the fab process. I’m not swift with the metallurgy, and I don’t know that I could tell a Ti axle from a steel one at any distance, either.
In other words, I don’t know
what I was seeing, beyond clearly being able to see trucks in various stages of fabrication.
For THAT specific data point that you asked about
@manysnakes, perhaps we can turn to the aforementioned PAL, @mattdlx, for the answer.
As I said in the exchange quoted above, you can believe the brother on the matter.
