The decision to move Gainward“s headquarter to Munich was made immediately following Gainward“s announcement of record profits in Europe in 2004. Revenue continued to grow to € 32M, and earnings before tax were up to € 1.1M. For 2005, Gainward is planning on doubling its sales to more than € 60M, targeting monthly running rates in excess of 150.000 units in Europe.

In addition, Gainward“s award winning graphics cards will be available in South East Asia through highly qualified distribution channels.

Two strong R&D teams in China and Taiwan will focus on developing leading edge products for the enthusiastic PC games under the supervision of Norman Liang, formerly President of Gainward in Taiwan. By having decision-making management all over Europe and strong engineering in South East Asia, in combination with a strong partnership with NVIDIA and high quality production, Gainward is much closer to its European key markets enabling it to outperform the competition with a more flexible organization.
