While U.S. companies run to China to get their devices made, the Taiwanese tech company Quanta, the world's largest contract notebook manufacturer in the world has plants in Nashville Tennessee and Fremont California. In fact, because of the Republican victory, they're going to double down on America while their competitors have to waste time figuring out whether to open plants in the U.S.

The Taiwanese tech company, which supplies data center servers to major tech players including Facebook, Google, Amazon and Microsoft, says president-elect Trump's vow to push U.S. companies to make goods at home may increase sales for Quanta Computer

Mike Yang, senior vice president of Quanta and president of Quanta Cloud Technology stated in an interview last week that they "have an upper hand now ... Unlike companies which have to assess whether to move their facilities from Mexico or elsewhere to the U.S., we are already there and we are expanding our U.S. operations."

Yang further noted that "We will double our assembly facilities, output and headcount in the U.S. over the next three years." Quanta's QCT currently has about 800 to 900 staff in the U.S., Europe and Taiwan and is continuing to hire more talent in these locations.

Yang added that if Trump does adopt a protectionist platform, as he promised on the campaign trail, the need for more domestic data centers will grow, as American tech companies might no longer be able to rely on data centers outside the U.S.

Quanta Computer is a key assembler of MacBooks and the Apple Watch.

In 2015, it booked revenue of US$31.4 billion, up 8.7% year-over-year.
