Is Wild Country now entirely Italian? Do they still have any UK [manufacturing]  presence? Their website says they relocated to Bolzano in Italy. 

Where do they manufacture equipment? Specifically nuts/ cams in this instance?

Looking at updating my rack, and I'd like to buy British by default. I'm largely quite happy choosing DMM, but it's nice to have options...

I don't think they have manufactured anything in the UK for a decade or more. If you want UK made it's DMM or nowt I think.

WC closed the Tideswell office in 2018 I believe and not sure when Tideswell last manufactured hardware. Hopefully Beardy Mike can shed some light!

Friends and Rocks are made in Taiwan, there has been a lot of other items made in central Europe recently but it would appear the Taiwanese are pretty good at forging! I'd love it if the product was still British made but clearly somebody far more important than me decided it was better financial sense to have it made in the far east.
