Operation Philosophy
Since its establishment, Compal has adhered to three major operation concepts and corporate mission, following the trend. By following the corporate mission, we have achieved the leading position and leading power of all products in the industry, pursued reasonable profits, embraced change and innovation and strengthened the management of key talents to commit to the development of digitalization and automation, improving the organizational structure of corporate social responsibility, and promoting and practicing the sustainable goals so as to jointly achieve the vision of Compal.
Global Operations
Compal's headquarters are located in Neihu District in Taipei and constitutes a hub for sales, purchasing, finance, accounting and administration. It is also where most R&D activities are carried out, and the Taoyuan Linkou R&D base was newly added in 2011. There are Compal plants in Taiwan (Pingzhen) and China (Kunshan, Nanjing, Chongqing, Chengdu). The Vietnam plant was set up in 2007 and the Brazil NB plant in 2008. Compal activated our Taiwan re-investment program in 2019 in response to US-China trade tensions and to support the government’s economic initiatives. New developments were also launched for the Vietnam plant to inject more jobs into the local economy. 2021 saw Compal step up our investments in Taiwan. In addition to the establishment of the innovation base for 5G AIoT applications at Asia New Bay Area in Kaohsiung, and the establishment of the biggest cell therapy laboratory in southern Taiwan in partnership with Kaohsiung Medical University. We are also investing in a new group headquarters complex at the Beitou Shilin Technology Park in Taipei that will be developed into a new smart innovation cluster for Smart Economy, Smart Health, Smart Transportation, Smart Environment, and Smart Buildings. In production & manufacturing, Compal is continuing to expand our regional production capacity. The opening of the US Indiana Plant in 2021 and the Mexico Plant in 2023 reduces the risk from over-concentration of production facilities while optimizing the services and production solutions that we provide to customers. In 2024, Compal established a new automotive electronics plant in Poland, with Phase I construction completed in June 2025. In October 2025, the Company signed a plant lease agreement in Texas, U.S.A., demonstrating Compal’s commitment to strengthening its presence in the North American market and enhancing the resilience of its global supply chain.
