History

Compal was founded in June 1984 as a computer peripherals supplier. It went public in April 1990.

In September 2011, Compal announced it would form a joint venture with Lenovo to make laptops in China. The venture was expected to start producing laptops by the end of 2012.

In January 2015, Toshiba announced that due to intense price competition, it will stop selling televisions in the US and will instead license the Toshiba TV brand to Compal.

In September 2018, it was revealed that due to overwhelming demand for the Apple Watch, Compal was brought on as a second contract manufacturer to produce the Apple Watch Series 4.

Motorola's volumes have been reduced year by year, and CCI's volumes have followed. In 2007, the volume was 48.7 million.
