Yes, the facility in Augsburg.
I had a look now at the Red Hat hardware catalog, Fujitsu does desktops:
https://catalog.redhat.com/hardware/workstations/search?q=fujitsu

The newest one which got certified:
https://www.fujitsu.com/fts/products/computing/pc/workstations/celsius-r970/

So the construction is happening somewhere else.
I am pretty sure these are originally from Fujitsu and not OEM from
someone else, as per Red Hat these would be called "pass through",
and basically the original vendor would then certify and just
"pass through" the cert to the model as sold by a different seller.
