A lot of what makes a good manufacturing process is, effectively, oral culture - passed on through apprenticeships and shadowing skilled technicians. Attempts to document it are surprisingly hard (this is why ISO9001 et al are unpopular). So in order to get a good factory startup you have to get experienced staff, which is easier in a cultural location that already has them.
