YHP/HP/YOKOGAWA in Taiwan

許久以前 美國電子儀器 (衡量......)等產品著名公司HP 要去開發日本市場
與YOKOGAW電氣合組公司稱為 YHP
後來 HP公司規模很大 就必須考慮將YHP分家 成HP日本公司 (它甚至於將原公司的核心產業獨立成安傑倫公司 乞丐 (電腦/印表機等)趕走廟公 (儀器)

HP 公司在台灣是少數投資地產(辦公大樓)的公司
許多台灣公司對它們貢獻良多
不過十幾年前併Compaq 電腦公司時 台灣的主管選Compaq公司的
讓原HP公司的總經理灰頭土臉 必須到中國投奔朋友
然後是總裁被趕下台 (台積電的張董事長請她當董事....)
今年 老總又因為報假帳被革職 (他是很沒人緣的管理員 為公司和自己賺到許多錢 可是這不是第一順位的優先....前老總被敵手 ORACLE公司請去當共同執行長 HP告他........)

HP to establish R&D center in Taiwan

Hewlett-Packard Co is setting up a global research and development (R&D) center in Taiwan, and expects to churn out computer and mobile devices such as its prospective iPad-killer, the HP Slate. The center, called the Computing Hub, will cost NT$3.6 billion (US$112.5 million) over three years and is expected to procure US$30 billion in electronics components from Taiwanese companies each year within that period, according to sources familiar with the deal.

“The center will set its focus on computer products, determining the design of HP Slate and related multi-touch applications,” sources said.

Other products in the R&D pipeline for the Computing Hub include 3D visual technologies for mobile products, while the US tech giant will work with local suppliers for special shutter glasses.

Personal cloud computing will also be a key theme for the center, where HP will develop related infrastructure and share know-how with Taiwanese contract makers, the sources said.

Kai Hsiao (蕭國坤), HP Taiwan’s procurement head, confirmed ­yesterday that the company has initiated a three-year program to set up an R&D center in Taiwan.

He would not comment on the specifics or amount, but said the center would play a critical role for HP’s global R&D.

“This project will put our Taiwan site in a strategic position for HP’s global R&D operations,” he said, adding that the center would be the largest R&D project in terms of investment in Taiwan’s tech industry.

He said PC, handset and server products would be the key focuses for the Computing Hub.

“Innovation will be the key to the Computing Hub. It won’t carry out R&D for middle or low-end products. The center will also join hands with Taiwan’s academia,” he said.

HP is not alone in boosting investment in Taiwan to tap into the local tech supply chain and its growing trade ties with China following the signing of the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA).

Another US firm, Super Micro Computer Inc, a leader in storage and server manufacturing, will also spend more than US$100 million to set up its Asia-Pacific operation center in Taiwan.

The company will recruit up to 4,000 staff members to run the center, which will include logistical, manufacturing and R&D functions.

“The company is facing high labor costs at its research site in Silicon Valley. Moving to Taiwan will help it cut costs and it could also take advantage of the ample resources of the tech supply chain here,” sources said.

Its operation center will be located in Bade (八德), Taoyuan County.
