Ortek a Leading Computer Input Device Maker

The focus of Ortek Technology Inc. is on the research, development, and manufacture of superior computer input devices. The firm is today one of the top five players in this sector in Taiwan.

Management says the firm's mission is to provide "a more humanized interface for operating computers." In this quest, Ortek has achieved such milestones as leading the Taiwan industry in launching the first keyboard designed for optimum ergonomics. It has also developed leading-edge R&D and production skills in the area of wireless technology, including proprietary manufacturing equipment and technology. When it comes to innovative technology for input devices such as keyboards and keypads, management claims, Ortek is "a true pioneer."

Ortek established its Taipei headquarters in 1989. Initially it specialized in IBM-compatible 101-key keyboards, mice, and numeric keypads. With rapidly increasing sales and perceiving the need to move manufacturing operations overseas to lower costs, Ortek established a production facility in Xiamen, Fujian Province, mainland China in 1990. This move allowed the workforce at Ortek's Taipei headquarters to focus on product development and other non-manufacturing tasks, strengthening its ability, says management, to support its customers and to compete internationally. During this period, new Macintosh and IBM-compatible product series created a steady stream of new business opportunities and further enhanced Ortek's reputation within the industry and among end-users.

Ortek states it has been continuously at the forefront of the industry with pioneering products such as universal serial bus (USB) keyboards and wireless keypads. It has sustained a strong record of growth by expanding its range of product offerings to include an ever broader range of input devices.

Securely positioned as one of the world's leading computer keyboard manufacturers, Ortek is continuing to strengthen its investment in R&D and introduce ever more advanced products to the market. The company's new "global support" initiative aims to resolve customers' technical problems within 24 working hours, as well as providing other support services.

The Ortek "vision" is built on an insistence on superior quality and advanced technology, and as a result the firm has established a solid reputation for product performance and reliability. All Ortek products are certified under numerous stringent quality standards, including the CE mark, FCC, CSA, TUV, and UL.
