The deadly simultaneous explosions triggered by hundreds of pagers carried by Hezbollah members in Lebanon have thrust a little-known Taiwanese electronics manufacturer into the global spotlight, after its damaged products were identified in images following the attack.

A Taiwanese company has said that it authorized its brand on the pagers that exploded in Lebanon and Syria but that another company based in Budapest manufactured them.

A Taiwanese firm's name appeared on Hezbollah's pagers that blew up in Lebanon, but the company says they were made by a Hungarian partner.
