They were made by Framus in Germany.

I'm quite sure they exchanged designs, knowledge and people. Framus failed in the 70s but the building still exists. Today it houses a metal-working factory . I'm there from time to time for business and it's quite exicting for me to know that some early Ovation parts were made there. Karl
