I think that cost is the sole driver to place of manufacture. There are many competent Broach houses in the US who could certainly do square taper cranks. I work with them on a regular basis making parts for Rocket Engines. And they would be willing to make the appropriate tooling if the business case were there. But based on US labor rates those Companies could never compete with the shops in Taiwan. We would be paying $1000 for a crankset. ~mike
