Interview with ABIT about USI’s purchase

ABIT has been on a financial rollercoaster lately, but as one of the best known manufacturers of enthusiast motherboards the activity has continued in hope of a solution appearing soon. A couple of weeks ago we found out what this solution was; Abit merged with circuit manufacturer USI, a company making components you can find almost anywhere. ABIT now has a powerful partner that can assist them and get them out of the financial problems and later on help them with manufacturing and such. But many has feared that ABIT’s identity as an enthusiast company will disappear at the same time. We therefore decided to contact ABIT and hear what it had to say about the merging with USI.

“We are looking into the prospects of extending our product range further into the mainstream and budget segments. USI’s experience and economy of scale would clearly facilitate such a move, but we will never forget, nor leave, what has always been our main focus throughout the years. In the short-term we will continue to focus our resources on our core business, which is making enthusiast-level motherboards. When it comes down to it, it’s only through the support of the enthusiast community that ABIT has managed to become such a household name in performance hardware.”
