Its name might sound like the bang of a gong, but Tatung makes more than noise. The giant conglomerate sells its communications products (PCs, servers, CD-ROM drives, cable set-top boxes), appliances (air conditioners, refrigerators, televisions), and industrial goods (cable and wire, transformers, and motors) in more than 100 countries. Other operations include Tatung OTIS Elevator (a joint venture with US-based elevator maker Otis), Chunghwa Picture Tubes (cathode-ray tube and LCD products), and San Chih Semiconductor (wafer manufacturing). The family-run company maintains a close relationship with Tatung University and Tatung Senior High School, institutions endowed by Tatung's founder.
