Asus was founded in Taipei, Taiwan, in 1989 by cofounders T.H. Tung, M.T. Liao, Ted Hsu, and Wayne Hsieh. All cofounders were former employees of Acer computers, working as hardware techs. The name ASUS is the partial letters used for the winged horse, Pegasus. The cofounders decided to use only the last four letters so they would have an alphabetical advantage in listings.

Asus is the world’s 4th largest personal computer vendor. Total brand worth is estimated at $1.3 billion.
