Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

First of, all I made a typo; the plant is actually 2 million sq ft. and the number of employees is now over 3500.

I personally know someone who went on the factory tour in Behringer City earlier this year. He was impressed.

There was also a write-up in AudioTechnology Mag (Australia) last year. A musician responded in a letter to the editor, expressing concern about conditions for the workers in China.  As a result, he was invited by Behringer to a factory tour in March this year.

The editor of AT mag also went on that tour (as did a group of dealers from around the world) and made a 2 part video. It's available on youtube - just search for 'behringer factory' (most info is in part 2).

While just checking youtube, I noticed that behringer now have their own promo video.

Then again, with every corporation building plants in China at bargain labor rates, maybe they do have that many people - BUT, I would be surprised.
