History

---

Multitech, which was founded in 1976, was renamed Acer in 1987. The global headquarters is in Sijhih City, Taipei County, Taiwan. In 2002, the pan Acer Group employed 39,000 people supporting dealers and distributors in more than 100 countries. Revenues reached US $12.9 billion that year. In 2000, Acer spun-off its manufacturing operation to focus on developing technologically advanced, user-friendly computing. In deciding to support the sales of its product lines through specific marketing activities that best utilise distribution channels, Acer grew worldwide while its labour force contracted. By 2005, Acer employed 7,800 people throughout the world while maintaining a sales and service network throughout the world. Revenues were US$4.9 billion in 2003^* and US$7 billion in 2004.
