Home Based Manufacturing

Passing by a website selling mini led christmas lights, I am reminded that a lot of these items are also being done home based. I was told that in Taiwan, contractors deliver to households wires that are then braided to become part of the lights that we use. Afterwards, the contractors (exporters) retrieve the braided wires and pay the households. Another group then installs the lights and does Quality Control checks. The finished product is then boxed and exported worldwide.
