Even the parts still made in Taiwan are often made by imported labor, last time I visited a bike factory, many signs were _only_ in thai. Taiwanese labor is just too expensive to hit the margins targets US bike manufacturers are looking for. It looks like the shift that's been happening toward SE Asia will just accelerate.
- walrus01 7y agoa large number of taiwan based AC-to-DC and DC/DC power supply manufacturers (Delta, Zippy, etc) have opened factories in Thailand. If you look at the ATX power supplies sold on newegg for instance, there's about 60 different brand names, actually manufactured by about 12 different companies. I'd say at least half of those have moved manufacturing outside of mainland china because they have better labor/cost of operations opportunities elsewhere in developing parts of southeast asia.
