A very small thing, but made in EU.
The Nitro-hat is a hi-hat pedal controller for the Alesis Nitro and Nitro Max electronic drum kits.

I will be using PCBs made in Germany by @aislerhq and plastics will be 3D printed at a local store in The Netherlands.

Does anyone know companies that make resistors, PCB audio Jacks and battery springs in Europe, happy to hear and modify the components for the first batch.

Of course sold via an European platform @lectronz

    Where do major European electronics component manufacturers like NXP and STMicroelectronics have their factories? Anybody who knows?

      @Midnattssol probably Asia, ST has something in Italy but I don’t know how much manufacturing is there.
      For my little kit I need mostly passive electronics, no semiconductors. Very difficult to find made in Europe

        Yes, I suspected they would be made in Asia :(

        Despite their names both NXP and STM also make passive components like resistors according to my quick search at octopart.com. Personally I’d choose a European company with manufacturing abroad over a Chinese or American company, though. Of course made in Europe would be preferable.
