Colnago, Time, Look and Parlee have been mentioned in the thread. Others I've found from googling are Focus and Orbea.

The US is giving colossal subsidies to domestic manufacturing so they can reduce reliance on China. They're starting with green industries https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-64405020 but maybe in due course there will be a shift in composites?
