That is'nt much suprise for me :-)
I live in the former eastern part of germany and I don't think that the
former GDR exported many of electronics to the US.
Now they are smaller as before too, most of their parts are going in to
automotive they say. Again, I don't think that you have much todo with
german cars, BMW and Mercedes making most of their products for the US
marked in the US.
You can find many of the frolyt caps in electronics from the former
communist countries. Nevertheless, their caps where and still are very
good with the exeption of some mid seventy series of electrolytics with
an white polystyrol or polyvinylchloride housing (they where white, named
Schneem?nner" (Snow Man)here in slang). The electrolyt simple
evaporated trough the housing.

He was loughing loudly, Frolyt builds
electrolytics here since ages..
The recipe of the electrolyte is top secret.
It's amazing to me that in my entire life, I have never run across a
Frolyt capacitor. Until the rise of China and Japan, it has been
brands such as Sprague, Cornell-Duplier, Electrovox, Mallory, etc.
Afterwards, Nichicon, Elna and the other usual suspects.
Frolyt must be very specialized.
