There are only a handful of companies that actually manufacture strings. Dean Markley is one of them.

I'm trying to find out the others. I think Fender makes their own strings too.

Can anyone verify this?

I think the OP meant, "Does Fender maintain a manufacturing facility of their own where they make Fender branded strings, or are Fender branded strings made by another manufacturer for them?"

I believe Fender strings are made in the Mexico plant. Look for a factory tour, I'm sure I've seen pictures of the machine.
