Lenovo is one of the world's largest makers of personal computers, dedicated to developing, manufacturing and marketing desktops and notebook personal computers, workstations, servers, storage drives, IT management software, and related services.
Lenovo came about as a result of the merger of two of the most storied companies in technology and business: Legend Holdings in China and IBM's Personal Computing Division in the United States. As a result, Lenovo embodies the unique market possibilities in combining the best of East and West - joining North American and China-based technology players in the creation of a unified global PC leader with growing market positions in developed and emerging markets alike.
With more than $16 billion in annual revenue, Lenovo's market strength spans not only market geographies but also the world’s consumer and business PC markets.
Lenovo's principal operations are currently located in Beijing, China; Morrisville, North Carolina in the United States; and Singapore, with research centers in those locations, as well as Shanghai, Shenzhen, Xiamen, and Chengdu in China, and Yamato in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.
The company employs more than 21,000 people worldwide, including 1,700 designers, scientists and engineers, representing a broad collection of nationalities and languages but at the same time working with one unified language and vision: to build the world' most exceptionally engineered personal computers.
