Made in Taiwan
Or at the very least, by a Taiwanese company. If you own an Apple iPod, a PlayStation, a laptop computer, a Numark CDX CD player (for Djs), you are most likely the proud owner of a little bit of Taiwanese manufacturing know-how. Many of these branded products are manufactured (and increasingly designed) by Taiwanese firms.
Taiwanese companies account for something in the region of 80% of global notebook production (many of these Taiwanese firms' factories are located in China). These are pretty amazing figures.
You've probably heard that relations between Japan and China are sour at the moment. This has benefitted many a Taiwanese company as Japanese firms continue to choose Taiwanese firms to design or make their products for them. Here is an interesting article from the Taipei Times on digital camera production.
Beyond just design and manufacturing, some Taiwanese firms are choosing to forward integrate and develop their own brands. Have a look at this Taiwan-owned brand, HANNspree. Who would have thought that this is Taiwanese?
