DuroMax and DuroStar

Founded in 2003, DuroMax Power Equipment is is an independent private company (sole proprietorship) headquartered in Ontario, California and is said to be the industry’s leader in Dual Fuel portable generator technology. 

As well as the company's association with portable generators ranging from digital inverters to large open frame models capable of powering all of your home, they also make pressure washers, engines, pumps, and accessories.

DuroMax produce similar but more economical generators under the DuroStar brand.

While there is a considerable amount of superficial information floating around about DuroMax making their own generators in the US, the veracity of this information is not easy to confirm, or if an "assembly" process takes place in the US with parts sourced from overseas.

A clue might be in information indicating that the DuroStar line of portable generator is made in China. It has to be said that many  of the DuroMax and DuroStar models bear a resemblance to other well-known brands which do bring their units in from China or other Asian countries such as Vietnam.

Another clue lies in DuroMax's answer, tucked away in their website's FAQs, to a question about where DuroMax engines are made, to which the reply was: 

"DuroMax engines are used in all DuroMax generators, water pumps, and pressure washers. DuroMax products are engineered and serviced from Ontario, California, USA and built to DuroMax specifications overseas".
