Thanks, that's really what I was getting at. I wasn't sure if China or Taiwan. So Taiwan for sure?

Most top-tier carbon frames are now made in China, so you’d have to trust the previous poster to have inside knowledge.

I always thought that specialized bikes were made by their shareholder Merida. But no clue if in China or Taiwan.

Topkey also runs several factories in China under the Keentech name, and if you look at the number of employees at each factory it seems doubtful that all S-Works frames could be manufactured at the Taiwan location.
Due to the complicated politics of the "One China" policy, a lot of things made in Taiwan say Made in China. I'm not going to try and start an argument over whether Taiwan should be considered China or not, but it is something to keep in mind.

It's all about how it's made, not where it's made these days. I don't have a Tarmac but my MTB is a S-Works Epic which is also made in Taiwan. This thing rides like dream and craftsmanship is simply superb. I believe all S-Works are made in the same factory in Taichung Taiwan.
Btw Taiwan isn't China.
