It's still a factory in a relatively small town in Maine. You can tour it and see for yourself.

Its parent company is Colgate-Palmolive. According to Wikipedia "In 2006, a controlling 84% stake in Tom's of Maine was purchased by Colgate-Palmolive for US $100M. The Chappells kept a 16% share in the company. The terms of the purchase stipulate that Tom's of Maine's policies will be retained."
