PC Partner, the world’s second-largest graphics card manufacturer based in Hong Kong, plans to relocate its headquarters to Singapore while began trading on the Singapore Exchange on November 15^th, according to the reports from The Edge and Tom’s hardware.

In addition to shifting its headquarter, PC Partner also intends to establish a new manufacturing facility in Batam, Indonesia, aligning with the “China+1” strategy increasingly adopted by manufacturers following the onset of the US-China trade war, according to Singaporean media outlet The Edge.

The report by The Edge also notes that the company describes the move as a strategic decision aimed at supporting its long-term growth and development.

It is worth noting that this strategic relocation appears to align with the upcoming launch of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards, allowing the GPU maker to sidestep potential high-tech export restrictions imposed on China by the U.S. Department of Commerce, according to Tom’s hardware.

According to the financial report released on its website, for the half-year ending June 30, PC Partner reported earnings of HK$194.1 million (nearly USD 24.9 million), a significant increase from HK$20.1 million in the same period last year. Its half-year revenue, on the other hand, rose from HK$4.18 billion in the same period last year to HK$4.94 billion (roughly USD 633 million).

Founded in 1997, PC Partner specializes in producing video and graphics cards, both as a contract manufacturer and under its own brands. It has also expanded into assembling PCs and, more recently, ventured into cloud computing, The Edge reports.

According to Tom’s Hardware, the company is known for manufacturing GPUs under brands like Zotac, Inno3D, and Manli, which are all based in Hong Kong. Additionally, PC Partner has a strong history, including manufacturing Radeon reference graphics cards for AMD, underscoring its significant industry presence, the report suggests.
