Early Life and Career
Chen Tao, born in 1972, is the founder and chairman of Victory Giant Technology. Before his entrepreneurial journey, Chen served in the military and later became a civil servant. A field trip to Shenzhen, the epicenter of China's economic reforms, altered his path. He transitioned into the hardware industry, becoming a salesman at a Taiwanese-owned PCB factory in 1996.
Rise to Success
Realizing the immense demand for circuit boards, Chen founded Victory Giant Technology in 2003, initially named Shenghua Electronics. The company manufactures printed circuit boards (PCBs), the essential components for AI servers. This strategic move positioned the company well to benefit from the growing AI sector. In 2019, Chen established a High-Density Interconnect (HDI) division, focusing on complex boards required for gaming graphics cards. This bet proved prescient, especially with the AI boom.
Key Business Strategies
Victory Giant Technology's success stems from its crucial partnership with Nvidia. As a core supplier of PCBs for AI servers, the company has experienced remarkable growth. In response to the increasing demand and to mitigate China-related risks, Chen has launched an aggressive "capacity overseas" strategy, investing in facilities in Thailand and Vietnam. The company serves over 350 international clients across major markets. In August 2024, Chen stepped down as President, handing the reins to Zhao Qixiang.
