interest in electronic design prompted him to establish Uchi Electronic Co. Ltd., Taiwan

the two Kao brothers started off the company by designing a control module for electronic
bathroom scales for their first customer, Krups. Subsequently, the company moves on to
develop control modules for electronic slicers and mixers. Eventually, the company

Symbol Technologies Inc. With their vision to "Look South", the Kao brothers decided to set up a
manufacturing base in Penang in 1989. The Group commenced operations in December 1989 at
its factory in 187, Jalan Sungai Pinang, Georgetown. Subsequently the Group shifted to
Prai Industrial Estate, Penang in 1996 when business expanded. At that time, the Group
