Originally founded in 1984 as Continental Systems Inc., the company did not officially become BenQ until 2001. With more than 20 years of experience, it has been one of the most successful names in the computer hardware industry, particularly in the 2000’s.
In 2005 the company delved heavily into the mobile telecommunications market, expanding its portfolio by acquiring Siemens AG’s mobile devices division. This move made it the sixth largest company in the mobile phone industry. Out of this acquisition came BenQ Mobile, a division dedicated solely to wireless communications. Devices in this group are marketed under the BenQ-Siemens brand name. The innovative design of BenQ mobile phones and computer products has helped the company garner numerous awards over the years. As recently as 2009, it won five Red Dot Design awards as well as the coveted iF Design Award 2009. Highly regarded as one of the best performing IT companies in the world, BenQ has consistently been featured in BusinessWeek’s Infotech 100 among other publications.
Moving ahead, BenQ is focused on maintaining its position as a leading marketer of digital projectors and LCD displays. It looks to accomplish this by leveraging the best of technology and delivering a versatile line of products that offer unparalleled quality to the customer. After two successful decades in the most competitive markets, the company knows how to stay abreast of industry changes and thrive in the completive market.
