Transcend Information Revenue and Competitors

Transcend was founded in 1988 by Mr. Peter Shu offering two products—the “JetMate” laser printer driver and the “KeyPro” software protection system. Our product lines have grown to include over 2,000 memory modules for a multitude of devices including desktops, notebook PCs, servers, workstations, digital still cameras, fax machines, video games, etc. Transcend memory products are available for many kinds of proprietary equipment as well as for mass market PCs. We opened offices around the world to gain access to world markets and to provide superior service to our customers. Offices were opened in the USA (1990), Germany (1992), The Netherlands (1996), Japan (1997), Hong Kong (2000), and China (2000). Transcend received ISO 9001 certification in 1997. In the year 2000, Transcend introduced Double Data Rate (DDR) technology memory products and successfully launched Transcend’s first retail stores. Transcend-Taipei held an Initial Public Offering on the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation in 2001. In 2002, we added a variety of graphics cards to the package of computer components that we design and manufacture and greatly expanded our line-up of Flash memory products and other peripherals. In 2003 we opened our new worldwide headquarters in our brand-new building in the NeiHu district of Taipei, Taiwan. We are also devoting great energy into developing a whole new line of storage products. Today, Transcend is surging into the future embracing the latest technologies, anticipating new challenges, and seizing new opportunities.
