Clevo (Chinese: 藍天電腦; pinyin: Lántiān diànnǎo; lit. 'Blue Sky Computers') is a Taiwanese OEM/ODM computer manufacturer that produces laptop computers. They sell bare-bones laptop chassis (barebooks) to value-added resellers who build customized laptops for individual customers.[2][3][4][5]

History

[edit]

Clevo was founded in 1983 as Nan Tan Computer (NTC).[1][6][7] In 1987, the company established its laptop computer business, with production starting in 1990.[8] In 1992, NTC set up Clevo, a U.S. subsidiary which would distribute its laptops in the country.[6][9] NTC later adopted the Clevo name for itself and first listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange in 1997.[8] In 1999, Clevo merged with their subsidiary, Kapok, to increase efficiency.[citation needed] In August 2002, Clevo had built a new factory in Kunshan, China.[1]
