You have purchased a fitting Made in Germany."

quality German ...

Explanation:
Nothing wrong with "made in Germany" (no caps!) as such, but I think it's a phrase that Germans themselves tend to use more than us in this sort of context. You can probably phrase it differently for the English-speaking market ...
For us, "Made in XX" is more a set phrase for labelling purposes etc.

Funny ... most of the hits are for exporters of dogs, beer mugs and sandals. German industry ain't what it used to be (sigh) ...
