AFAIK a lot of Supermicro's manufacturing is "outsourced" to Ablecom in China; the CEOs of the two companies are brothers and Ablecom sounds like a de facto subsidiary. Supermicro may have a final assembly facility in the US to serve the Americas, but I doubt PCBs and such are manufactured in the US.
