Driven by the strong believe that LED will change the way we live and enhance our life style, Lite-On Electronics was established in 1975 in a small apartment by three founders. There they created another garage legend.

Lite-On was the first to produce LED. In the past 32 years since its inception, it has gone through three major changes. In 1983, Lite-On had its IPO and was the first technology company to be listed on Taiwan Exchange. In 2002, four public companies merged, including Lite-On Electronics, Lite-On Technology, Silitek and GVC, with the new entity become the new Lite-On Technology that we know today. The merger of four public companies was considered revolutionary in the history of the Taiwan equity market. In 2006, Lite-On implemented a re-organization to accommodate different strategies and goals for short term, mid-term and longer-term growth.

In the past two years, Lite-On Technology has been successful with its “Profitable Growth” strategy, focusing on the improvement of profitability rather than irrationally pursuing revenue increase. Product portfolio strategy change contributed to majority of the success as Lite-On Technology switched its focus on higher-margin, high-growth products including Imaging, Power Supply, Enclosure and LED, where the core of Lite-On Technology lies. More than 85% of Lite-On Technology’s revenue comes directly from globally leading products, among which many rank global top three, including optical disc drive, handset keypad, color image sensors, power supplies, etc.

The higher-margin, high-growth core products strategy is recognized, Lite-On Technology’s outstanding operating received overwhelming response and applause from foreign institutional investors. Lite-On Technology developed from LED and peripheral component, to become an international foreign company, the foreign shareholding increased to around 60% for the time being. Lite-On Technology was highly regarded and ranked in the Business Week and Forbes Magazine for “Information Technology 100” and “Asia’s Fabulous 50 Companies.” Company also earned worldwide recognition for its innovation as well as its globalization operating. In the past 4 years, Lite-On Technology received 19 awards from German iF and Red Dot, in addition to U.S. IDEA Awards. Winning the acknowledgement by these prestigious global awards not only was celebrated within Lite-On but also a glory for our country.
