Made in Taiwan


The Made in Taiwan (Chinese: 台灣製造; is the country of origin label affixed to products to indicate that the said product is made in Taiwan. As the economy of Taiwan increased production, the Made in Taiwan label was applied to products ranging from textiles, plastic toys, and bikes in the 1980s to laptops and computer chips in the 1990s; over 80% of the world's notebook computer design is made in Taiwan.[1]

In 2010 there was a push by the Ministry of Economic Affairs to promote certified made-in-Taiwan products in Taiwan, including stocking participating items at major chain stores.[2]

Representative brands of the Made in Taiwan label in the auto industry include Luxgen. The computer industry includes Acer, Asus and HTC. Quanta Computer applied the Made in Taiwan label in manufacturing millions of computers for the One Laptop Per Child project.
