TAIPEI -- Taiwan-based AirPods assembler Inventec says its manufacturing sites outside of Asia provide an edge amid the escalating trade war, as its biggest rival's production hubs are concentrated in mainland China.
"We have plants in Taiwan, Mexico and Czech Republic, and that flexibility gives us an advantage compared with our competitor," David Ho, CEO of Inventec Appliances, the Taiwanese company's smart devices subsidiary, said in an investors conference Tuesday.
