TriGem Computer, Inc.
 PROFILE
One of TriGem Computer's low-priced jewels just might be sitting on your desk. The South Korean company is vying with Acer to be the world's largest PC maker. Previously a manufacturer of PCs for Compaq, IBM, and other major US computer companies, TriGem began selling its own computers and motherboards in the face of dwindling domestic sales and the termination of its contract with IBM. The company owns about 20% of Japanese PC distribution joint venture SOTEC, which it operates with Korea Data Systems and Japan-based Kyoden. TriGem also owns 20% of eMachines, another joint venture with Korea Data Systems; eMachines is a leader in the low-end PC market in the US. CEO Paul Lee owns about 5% of TriGem.
