I can believe they'd make parts that were bicycle specific. Simple screws, nuts, and washers I'm not so sure. There seem to be rumors that come and go that so and so made parts for Campagnolo ( Miche, Gipiemme, Ofmega, take your pick); those would probably be of most interest if anyone at Campy was willing to spill the beans. I believe last year I saw one on the net that suggested recent low end Campy was coming from Taiwan.
