You’ll find that most machinery is Chiwanese; some are much better quality than others. As far as I’m aware, only Sedgwick produce planer/thicknessers that are made in the UK. Hand tools come from all over the place and Clifton planes (not sold any more by Ax, more’s the pity) are the only ones made in the UK. That said Veritas and Lie Neilson kit from across the pond (Canada and the US) can be thoroughly recommended. Power tools again mostly come from the Orient though Festool are made in Germany - Rob
