Acer Personal Computer

Acer is a world-renowned Taiwanese multinational hardware and electronics corporation specializing in advanced electronics technology. Founded in 1976 by Stan Shih, his wife Carolyn Yeh, and a group of five others as Multitech, the company rebranded to Acer in 1987.

Acer is recognized as one of the largest personal computer vendors globally. Its extensive product range includes laptop PCs, desktop PCs, tablets, servers, and storage devices. While the company is headquartered in Xizhi, New Taipei City, Taiwan, its massive manufacturing network is primarily concentrated in China and Taiwan to optimize its global supply chain.

The brand has remained largely independent and publicly traded, solidifying its place as a key player in the tech industry. It has expanded through strategic acquisitions of companies like Gateway and Packard Bell, further extending its market reach in North America and Europe.
