I thought Comodo was Turkish owned and founded in the UK first before moving to the united states. Sometimes Head office or registration does not mean it is actually originates from that country (Ikea is registered in Netherlands, but is definitely a Swedish company)

Youre thinking of Comodo's CEO (Melih). He's Turkish, but founded Comodo in the UK before moving to the United States.

See bottom paragraph of above link.

Comodo Group - Wikipedia

There are offices in Asia, but Comodo was founded in the UK and is now US based. Main headquarters are in US and UK. Different parts of the Comodo business (e.g. CA, security etc.) may also be based in different locations globally.
