No, that is the hometown of Glenn Deruchie, the longtime USA agent for "Macaroni". Glenn used to drive to Canada and bring the frames back in the trunk of his car, then ships them out to dealers. (I wonder if that is still the arrangement?) All Marinonis are made in the Canadian workshop. It was an unusual shop in that they did all chroming and paint "in house" whereas most builders send all or part of that work out to subcontractors...
