Sig is made in Exeter NH, I believe they bought out the parent Swiss company. And I heard, probably on here, that while Glock is Austrian owned the ones we get are made in Georgia, I would look a little closer at Serbu as well as I believe they are in Fl.
I agree. When they changed the name from SigArms back to SigSauer was the mark of the new ownership team - so far as I know, it is an American company now, not owned or operated by the Swiss. They do own European components as well - tail wagging the dog as it were when the subsidiary buys the parent, which is what I believe I read happened in 2007.
Updated: According to Hoover's, Sig Sauer is privately owned with owners not listed, $100Mill in sales, 300 employees; here are the officers:

Sig Sauer Logo EXETER, NH (April 28, 2009) SIG SAUER, Inc. announced today that it has secured a multi-year contract to provide pistols to the U.S. Army's Material Command. The potential value for all quantities and the related customer support package is $306 million. The initial order of 55,890 units is to be released as the standard sidearm for the entire Colombian National Police force. Shipments are to begin immediately with a second release of 42,000 pistols to follow.
Ron Cohen, President and CEO, stated that he is proud that SIG SAUER's long standing reputation for superior reliability and quality has been recognized with this exceptional contract.
