The original Paramounts were built by hand in the Waterloo factory. The Paramount Design Group bikes were made in Japan. I think some of the OS frames were made in Waterloo.
The Waterloo factory was kept by Richard Schwinn when the family name was sold. This is where the Waterford and Gunnar frames are made.
