TAIPEI (TVBS News) — South Korean SSD controller maker FADU secured NT$1.27 billion (US$40.3M) in enterprise contracts within Taiwan this year, the company announced at Computex Taipei on Friday (June 5). The contracts signal a major push into Asia's tech hub as the Seoul-based firm reported a return to profitability and record global contract values.
Global contract values from hyperscale cloud providers surged past 300 billion KRW (NT$6.3 billion/US$200M) by early June, the company said. CEO Ehyun Nam said this year represents a "quantum leap" for FADU after it returned to profitability in the first quarter of 2026. The surge reflects revenue and profit growth driven by customer diversification across data center environments, he said.
The contracts position Taiwan as a key market for enterprise storage as data centers expand to meet AI computing demands. FADU's partnerships with Taiwan-based ADATA and GIGABYTE reflect the island's role as a hub for next-generation server and storage technology development.
FADU became the core engine for ADATA's (威剛) enterprise brand "TRUSTA" in April 2025. The partnership expanded in October 2025 into a trilateral alliance with Giga Computing, a subsidiary of GIGABYTE (技嘉), targeting the Asian server market. ADATA's TRUSTA "TD7P51 ECO" PCIe Gen5 SSD, supporting up to 15.36TB, has cleared validation on leading global server platforms, Vice President Jeffery Lee said. ◼ (At time of reporting, US$1 equals approximately NT$31.47)
