Squier is the low-end of the Fender line. Mostly made in Korea, but some in China and/.or Indonesia.
In the 80's they were made in Japan, and were a fairly high quality guitar. I have an '87 Squier Strat who's built quality is better than most of the USA Fenders I've seen.
Most of the Ephiphone line is made in Korea, and if I recall correctly, some by Samick, in Japan. Or at least, they used to be.
If anyone wants to know the particular names of the actual companies that are doing the Squier and Epiphone lines, I'll be able to find out in a couple weeks when I go to NAMM.

The Fernandes guitars are pretty good. Especially thier higher end guitars, like the Ravelle.
And Fernandes happens to my my Japanese distributor, too.
