Production[edit]
The first Logitech mice, starting from the P4, were made in Le Lieu, in the Swiss Canton of Vaud[38] by Dubois Dépraz SA.[39]
Production facilities were then established in the United States, Taiwan, Hungary and Ireland before being moved to Suzhou, China. As of 2005, the manufacturing operations in China produce approximately half of Logitech's products. The remaining production is outsourced to contract manufacturers and original design manufacturers in Asia.[40]
