Len,
I suspect, that Interstate and Optima contract out the actual manufacturing
of their branded batteries, in the same way that so many bezillion other
companies put their own names on products Made in China.

Doug: Interstate Batteries is another battery company and according to
their web site is located in Dallas, Texas. To quote them, "Enjoying a
reputation for top-quality products, business innovations and consistently
reliable service, Interstate Batteries is the No. 1 replacement brand
battery in North America. Now over a billion dollar, privately-held
corporation, our enterprise continues to thrive on our innovation as well as
our good old-fashioned business principles."
Johnson Controls shows Optima as one of their products yet the Optima web
site makes it sound like a stand alone company headquartered in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin. I see no mention of Johnson on the Optima web site although it
is headquartered in Glendale, Wisconsin, which appears to be about six miles
north of Milwaukee. ???
