Fuji doesn't make bikes. Almost every mass market branded bike is made by one of a handful of companies, mostly based in Taiwan, with factories in Taiwan, China and elsewhere.
One is the appropriately named Giant Manufacturing Co., another is Ideal Bicycle Corp. Nashbar and Performance are likely built by one of these two.
The brands that Ideal builds for include Specialized, Cannondale, Bianchi, and Fuji, among others:http://www.idealbike.com.tw/en/html/partner.html
Most major bike brands are really just design and marketing companies who outsource the actual bike building to the big factory producers who can it cheaply.
