The Ceto 5 buoys were built in Vietnam with other components coming from a variety of other countries. A major consideration was the limited funds that CWE had available.
The next generation Ceto is bigger, more complex and therefore more expensive.
If EU funding becomes available (which I think it will), CWE should be in a position to use the the very best facilities in the world available to build their next wave energy device.
The relocation of CWEs UK headquarters to Cornwall is a good indication of where they expect most of the work to be done.
We don't know which type of power take off system will be going inside Ceto 6 but it is a pretty safe bet that it will be one from Europe somewhere.
I would think Cornwall would be the place that has everything required to build and test the device and that a company like A & P Falmouth would be well qualified to handle the job.
