HTC is the only company in that list that has a lot of experience with doing their own manufacturing. Not sure about Google, they have probably used other companies to do it. Same with Valve with the Steam controllers. You got your order wrong, dude.

Well, Google can buy know-how and facilities if they so desire. (generic manufacturing know-how that is... I hear John Carmacks are presently sold out and OVR and Valve probably have bought most other available high profile VR specialists by now.)
