TAIPEI -- Taiwan's Inventec, the electronic contract manufacturer which supplies HP, Dell and Apple, said on Friday it would move some production to the U.S. if its customers agreed, in response to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's vow to increase local jobs.

"If our customers want us to make products locally in the U.S. we will definitely do so," said Chairman Richard Lee of Inventec, "We do have a plan about that... but it all depends on our clients' will."
