How about Intel?
1 comments

Intel fabs chips here. They assemble electronics in China.

Edit: And that's assuming that they assemble electronics at all, which I wouldn't bet on.

Recent Intel Fabrication Locations:

Fab 24 Leixlip, Ireland

Fab 28 Kiryat Gat, Israel

Fab 68 Dalian, China

Fab 42 Chandler, Arizona, USA

--------------------------------------

Recent Intel Assembly Sites:

Heredia, Costa Rica

Chengdu, China

Kulim, Malaysia

Penang, Malaysia

Saigon, Vietnam

Chandler, Arizona

Most of that is almost certainly, in part, for tax related reasons. Intel is profitable; profitable US companies want to keep those profits outside the US (see: Google).
