What does ViewSonic mean?
ViewSonic is the name of a company. Creating a brand in the highly competitive U.S. information technology market is already a daunting challenge. Achieving this dream as a Chinese immigrant is even more fraught with difficulties and obstacles. However, driven by his keen insight into the market and prophetic vision, Mr. James Chu, the founder and president of ViewSonic Group, has managed to elevate ViewSonic® to its current status within just ten years, truly writing a legend of success for Asians in entrepreneurship in the United States. ViewSonic Group was founded in 1987 in Southern California by the outstanding Chinese entrepreneur Mr. Zhu Jialiang. In the fierce market competition, ViewSonic managed to overcome its competitors in just 8 years, emerging as the leading brand of standalone monitors in the North American market – a position it has held to this day. At the beginning of 2000, ViewSonic officially announced the acquisition of Nokia’s display business unit, becoming the world’s largest display brand group. By 2002, ViewSonic’s annual revenue exceeded 1.3 billion dollars, with over 30 subsidiaries and offices worldwide. The business scope covers 128 ** and regions across five continents. It is the brand with the highest market share in the United States/Canada/Greece/New Zealand/Chile/Taiwan, China, and even in the Nordic markets.
