The 90 ASPH's are being made in Solms and not subcontracted out to someone 
else in Germany.  Leica makes most of their own lenses in Solms.  Some lenses 
are subcontracted out to Zeiss and Schneider Germany, Kyocera of Japan and 
the former Leitz facility in Midland, Canada.  Leica also maintains a 
production facility in Portugal, which produces mainly subassemblies.  These 
facilities are the only places Leica lenses are made.
