Steelseries is Danish, for keyboards, mice, headsets, and other assorted peripherals.
I love Fractal Design cases. I've not tried their other products but they also make
- Chairs
- Headsets
- Fans
- Water Cooling
- Power Supplies
Not sure where any of these are actually manufactured however.
@Sunshine There's also Logitech for mice, keyboard and headphones
Desktop cases, you have be quiet! ๐ฉ๐ช, Fractal Design ๐ธ๐ช, and a few others too (not made in Europe as far as I understand)
Power supply, you have be quiet! and Fractal (again, not made in Europe I think)
Dunno about motherboard
Arctic ๐ฉ๐ช produces thermal paste, as well as liquid coolers and fans, but not made in Eurppe. Noctua ๐ฆ๐น is higher quality for coolers, but don't think they make stuff in Europe either
Dunno about monitors, keyboards (build a custom one and support local suppliers maybe?), and mice.
Sennheiser ๐ฉ๐ช makes awesome wired headphones, the HD 550 are pretty good value I think. They also produce lots of great microphones (the Profile is a USB one). Fairphone ๐ณ๐ฑ are the gold standard for wireless audio, replaceable battery and easily repairable parts! The Fairbuds 2 look awesome and the (second gen) Fairbuds XL are also very good. Rode is Aussie ๐ฆ๐บ but they also produce good mics.
edit: EGG (End Game Gear) is based in Germany ๐ฉ๐ช and they make esport-centric mice.

starlabs.systems are based in the UK and do laptops/tablets and mini PCs. They are slightly unique in that they support linux as a primary OS and provide coreboot firmware for most of the products. I have a mini PC and it's good for older games (Intel CPU/GPU) things like PS1/2 games and xbox games.
so basically the answer is no, unless you want a tricked out desk and an empty pc case.
