Maybe unrelated, but I have a Deciso DEC2752, which is an OPNsense firewall appliance. For some reason Deciso made it in the Netherlands instead of China or Taiwan. I don't know for sure how much cheaper, or more expensive it would be if it was Asian-made.
It's unique for sure. It's a bit pricey but other firewalls were less-than-statisfactory. Chinese Mini PC boxes were too little, Supermicro Front I/O boxes were too much. I don't exactly like Netgate's alternative either.

I then ship those boards to Singapore where I load firmware and do all my testing. I can then say that the products were "Made in Singapore" because the value of the firmware is greater than the entire hardware BoM. The above example comes from a colleague who used to work in the SSD business.
