edgecore is just a marketing name, the actual company is accton
they're generally a competitor of companies like compal, clevo, quanta. All well known in Taiwan if you're in the business of having 3rd parties manufacture your stuff.
- alliao 5y agoI'm pretty sure accton's compal's communications subsidiary
- walrus01 5y agothat is a good point, not something I'd had reason to think about since 2006 or so. Compal is quite a behemoth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compal_Electronics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compal_Electronics US $26 billion revenues. Most people have never heard of it, only its consumer facing brands like Ignitenet.
- merb 5y agoit's crazy how much tech companies taiwan has. i'm pretty sure that this has conflict potential with china (i.e. china with the eu/us).

- c_o_n_v_e_x 5y agoI frequently work with Taiwanese manufacturers in the industrial PC space. Depending on what the client needs, I can specify whether the equipment is made in China (Suzhou) or Taiwan. Having the equipment made in Taiwan costs at least 10 to 15% more.
