Elitegroup Computer Systems (or ECS) is a Taiwan-based electronics firm. It is the fourth largest PC motherboard manufacturer in the world (after Asus, Gigabyte Technology, and MSI), with production reaching 24 million units in 2002. Many of these motherboards have been produced for OEM customers and are used in systems assembled and sold by such brand-name companies as IBM and Compaq. Its main competitor used to be Micro-Star International.
The company has since concentrated on broadening its product range. After ECS's recent purchase of laptop manufacturer Uniwill, the company has also been making its mark in the design and manufacture of laptops, desktop replacement computers and multimedia products. ECS computers are sold by Fry's Electronics under the “Great Quality” (“GQ”) brand.
Founded in 1987, ECS is headquartered in Taiwan with operations in North America, Europe and the Pacific Rim. The company merged with PCChips (Hsing Tech Enterprise Co., Ltd), a major manufacturer of low-cost motherboards, in 2005.[1] In June 2003, ECS was selected for two years in a row for Business Week Magazine's exclusive Information Technology 100 list.
