About the brand

The brand took its beginnings about thirty years ago. At that time, the sector of the economy associated with the development, promotion and sale of computer programs around the world was at the very center of development. In each "advanced" state, more and more new companies appeared, striving to take "their place under the sun." One of them was the newly minted company Asus, which was formed in one of the provinces of the Celestial Empire.

The main goal of a small company at that time was to advise manufacturers of motherboards for computers, and its staff consisted of only two young people. The manufacturing giants did not want to listen to the boys, based on the fact that they have sufficient income from their components and without any consultation.

Then the two founders of the world famous brand decided to release their own motherboard for the then innovative Intel 80486 chip. And it was this action that led the guys and the future company to success. The designers of the then-famous manufacturing companies appreciated their finished work. From that moment on, the first two founders of the company became recognized, and the Asus company founded by them in a short time received not only world recognition, but also turned from a small unknown company into a corporation with a worldwide reputation.

In 2003, the company released balanced J100-Asus, and a couple of years later the company released its first LCD TV. And a year later, she brought the flagship ultrabook to the market. A little later, the company announced its intention to release a burner, and soon its intentions were crowned with success, and the concern launched personal portable computers with Blu-ray drives for sale.

At the moment, Asus is a well-known concern, whose shares have a certain price on world exchanges. The number of employees of the company is about 13,000 people, and the annual foreign exchange turnover is more than 12.5 billion dollars. The motto of the company is that by improving innovations - you will always come to perfection.Today, quality products are especially popular with Asus consumers and admirers: electrolytic batteries, semiconductor devices, voltage power regulators, microcircuits, and so on.
