Asus splits, now three separate companies

by Robert Nelson on Jan 5, 2008 at 03:10 AM

Asus has officially split into three separate companies with each having their specialty. Instead of just being Asus, they will also have Pegatron and Unihan. Asus will handle their own branded notebooks and computers, Pegatron will handle the motherboards and PC related products while Unihan will handle all chassis and non-PC manufacturing.

According to reports the transition will be seamless, however the employees will all be starting fresh when it comes to their pension fund, which I am sure was not the best news for them. They did however pay out those employees with current pension plans before making them start from scratch. One employee was optimistic about the transition stating that he thinks “you will see more ASUS notebooks in the U.S. from now on.“

Sounds like it will be a good move, at least when it comes to US based customers.
