Maybe not the best examples, since the companies don’t exist anymore, but weren’t NeXT and Sun Micros built in the bay area in the early days? I think Sun hung on to the newark facilities nearly to their shuttering. Were they a mess too?

Good examples but they didn’t really do volume compared to the consumer brands.

Gateway built computers in a South Dakota. Compaq and Dell in Texas.
