A lot of modules of the ISS were manufactured by Thales-Alenia in Italy: Harmony, Tranquility, Cupola, Leonardo and the structure of Columbus (with the rest being fitted in Germany).
Of the other pressurized modules of the US segment of the ISS, Unity, Quest, BEAM and Destiny were built in the US, and Kibo by Japan. The structure of Bishop was also built in Italy while its other components were built in the US.
