Business Description: Quanta Computer is one of the world's largest manufacturers of notebook computers. The company<br />
also produces network servers , television set-top boxes, monitors, LCD TVs, and smartphones.<br />
Quanta Computer's top customers include leading electronics vendors, such as Apple, Dell,<br />
Gateway, Hewlett-Packard, Panasonic, and Sony. The company's other business units include<br />
Quanta Storage Inc. (data storage products) and RoyalTek Company, Ltd. (personal navigation<br />
devices and other GPS products). While well known for its notebooks and their smaller computer<br />
cousins, the netbooks, Quanta Computer is diversifying into other consumer electronics and IT<br />
products, such as Apple's iPod Touch.<br />
The company's strategy is encapsulated in what it calls System Solution Design Manufacturing and<br />
Move. The business model incorporates elements of electronics manufacturing services and original<br />
design manufacturing, two similar but distinct services. The former involves companies that take a<br />
design from a customer and manufacture the product to the customer's specifications. The latter<br />
involves companies that design their own products, then tailor them for customers. The "move" in<br />
Quanta Computer's operations incorporates logistics, configure-to-order manufacturing, direct order<br />
fulfillment, and other value-added services.<br />
In a tough year for the global economy as a whole, and the computer industry in particular, in 2009<br />
Quanta Computer's sales fell by a mere 1% over 2008 levels. Its net income, however, rose by 10%<br />
for the same period, a result of strict cost controls it put in place. For 2010, the company plans to<br />
continue to diversify into areas outside of the notebook PC. The company is focusing its R&D efforts<br />
on cloud computing, connectivity, and client devices. All three areas are part of a broader cloud<br />
computing initiative that involves the design and manufacture of data storage products and servers (for<br />
providing cloud-computing services), next-generation data networking products (for enabling<br />
uninterrupted cloud-computing connections and service coverage), and client devices (for accessing<br />
cloud networks).<br />
In 2006 Quanta Display, an affiliate of Quanta Computer, was sold to rival display maker AU<br />
Optronics in a $2.2 billion stock-swap transaction; Quanta Computer became AU's second largest<br />
shareholder (after Qisda Corporation, which spun off BenQ in 2007) as a result.<br />
