I know little of the official history, but in researching the Allez frames, I believe they made the switch from Japan production to Taiwan production in 1989. There is an ‘88 Allez in original battered livery in the window of one of the local co-ops with a ‘Made in Japan’ sticker on it.
I think Centurion also replicated this move the same year. Or was it ‘88 for them?
