Samsonite

Jesse Shwayder began this luggage company in Denver, Colorado in 1910. After 91 years on the West Coast, it was forced to relocate owing to a shift of ownership across the country. The corporate headquarters of Samsonite are currently located in Mansfield, Massachusetts. However, the vast majority of these products are produced in Europe and Asia! The company has operations in China, India, and Hungary. Around 40% of the company’s hard baggage is produced in Nashik, India. This brand is big in China, not only in terms of production and employment but also in terms of sales! Indeed, two-thirds of Samsonite’s Chinese sales are accounted for by contract manufacturers in Shanghai.

Dell

Dell is one of the world’s major computer manufacturers, and you’ve probably heard of them. Despite Michael Dell’s efforts in the early 1980s, the company’s manufacturing operations have subsequently become fragmented. In Austin, Texas, they build their own web servers for their global clientele. Despite the fact that the machines were previously made in the United States, they elected to outsource production to countries other than the United States. The company is presently present in Brazil, China, Ireland, Malaysia, and Mexico. It is an Irish custom fabrication firm situated in Limerick. When it first opened in 2000, it drew a lot of interest from the media. It is one of Ireland’s largest manufacturers, occupying 40,000 square feet and employing 23,000 people.
