Hi-Tech Manufacturing Collaboration Spans the Globe, Business and Industry Trends Analysis

Outsourcing has truly globalized the manufacturing of a wide spectrum of items, from laptop computers to jumbo jets.  As varying countries hone their expertise and cut costs, it has become commonplace for parts of high-tech machines to be manufactured thousands of miles apart and then shipped to a central location for assembly.

Take, for example, the manufacturing of laptop computers.  Taiwanese computer manufacturer Quanta Computer, Inc. is one of the largest builders of laptops because of its system of collecting parts from many nations and assembling them at low cost in Taiwan.  There are certain countries that specialize in certain components.  Need a hard disk drive?  Look to Japan, China, Singapore and the U.S.  Memory chips?  Try South Korea, Taiwan, Japan or China.
