History[edit]
Compal was founded in June 1984[1] as a computer peripherals supplier.[5] It went public in April 1990.[1]
In September 2011, Compal announced it would form a joint venture with Lenovo to make laptops in China.[6] The venture was expected to start producing laptops by the end of 2012.
In January 2015, Toshiba announced that due to intense price competition it will stop selling televisions in the USA, and will instead license the Toshiba TV brand to Compal.[7]
In September 2018, it was revealed that due to overwhelming demand for the Apple Watch, Compal was brought on as a second contract manufacturer to produce the Apple Watch Series 4.[8]
CCI[edit]
Compal subsidiary Compal Communications (華寶通訊, CCI) is a major manufacturer of mobile phones. The phones are produced on an ODM basis, i.e. the handsets are sold through other brands. In 2006, CCI produced 68.8 million handsets, and was the largest mobile handset ODM in the world. CCI's largest customer by far was Motorola. Year by year, Motorola's volumes have been reduced, and CCI's volumes have followed. In 2007, the volume was 48.7 million.[9]
