Making History

It all started with a bowl of noodles. No, seriously. 

In May 1997, Vincent and Wesley, both of whom were IC design engineers, happened to meet each other at a small noodle stand in Taipei. As they chatted over slurps of noodle soup, they knew they had something. Vincent and Wesley envisioned a company where employees create value through applying their innovation capabilities. To make this dream come true, Vincent and Wesley founded Sitronix in January 1998. 

Today we are a much larger company, having grown to over 600 people. The one thing that stays the same is that we remain true to our founding values. We celebrate the unique talents each employee possesses as we work towards our shared goals of product differentiation and diversification.
