If this is a serious statement, then I think that you should qualify it by explaining how you know, as opposed to believe, that this is the case.
I have worked in electronic and electro-mechanical industries that do their designs in-house, but sub contract component procurement, assembly, testing and packaging, etc. to 3rd party assembly plants BUT they also specified, in detail, which components went into their products, types of wiring used, thickness of contact plating, who is approved to supply those components, how the final assemblies will be tested, etc.
It wasn’t just a case of “assemble 10,000” and then “right at the end we’ll stamp the 1st 5,000 with Canon and the last 5,000 with a generic name”.
