Meta Platforms technology products

Meta Platforms, Inc., formerly known as Facebook, Inc., is an American multinational technology conglomerate based in Menlo Park, California. The brand originated with the launch of Facebook in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg and his co-founders at Harvard University. Over two decades, it has evolved from a single social networking site into a massive ecosystem encompassing Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and its virtual reality division, Reality Labs.

While the brand and software are developed primarily in the United States, its physical hardware—such as the Meta Quest VR headsets and Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses—is produced through a global supply chain. Manufacturing occurs primarily in Taiwan and China through partnerships with contract manufacturers like Goertek and Foxconn. The company remains under the control of its original founder, Mark Zuckerberg, who maintains majority voting power through a dual-class stock structure.
