@tracer has a spreadsheet where he tracks brands + factories, but it's basically constant out of date just because the mapping shifts constantly. Just in the past ~1 year, Korua started building in China, United Shapes shifted out of GP87 to I think Nobile, and who knows what the Burtons and Ride/K2s of the world are doing any given season.

I've been sort of maintaining this list last few years. Could use some filling out and updating:

awesome, there's a few updates afaik
United Shapes > NBL
Fjell snowboards > Meditec
Whitespace > Keil (not 100% sure, but I know they moved to Europe)

do boards from Venture (US), KNWN (Can), Field Earth (Japan) warrant placement on that list or are they too niche

also Marhar, Gilson, Parlour

The Mothership, as far as I know doesn't contract brands anymore, only Capita and SB made there for the last few years.

correct DWD is now out of Playmaker, I thought DC was done, not sure where they’re at now, best guess is playmaker or Titan. they might still be making Forum?
Sims is Playmaker, as well.
Salomon & Public are out of Titan.

You are right twice there, DC is in fact done, and Forum is made at Mothership, forgot about them. Too bad they don't put a sintered base on the Forum decks, no way I'd buy one at that price point otherwise.
