2024 年富比世雜誌評選亞洲Top 20 最具影響力的女性企業家,本會陳美琪董事長獲選為亞洲Top 20 最具影響力的女性企業家之一!
Maggi Chen cofounded the Taiwan-listed company in 1983 with her husband, Leon Chen, and younger brother Frank. Over the next 30 years, she guided Chenbro Micom from designing computer chassis—the housing for a computer’s main parts—to manufacturing them, often taking on smaller, custom orders, and extending its manufacturing operations into China.
Chen recognized the growing demand for server chassis as the AI, 5G and cloud industries developed, and later redirected the company to focus on server chassis production. Today the company, which counts leading chipmaker Nvidia among its clients, is one of the world’s largest producers of chassis for servers. First-half revenue in 2024 jumped 53% to NT$6.4 billion ($198 million) year-on-year while net profit surged 176% to NT$833 million.
In 2020, Chen reshored some of its manufacturing to Taiwan. The company’s new NT$2.5 billion plant is in Chiayi County, next to Chen’s native Yunlin County, and is designed to resemble stacked servers. Chen, who came from a modest background in central Taiwan, served as the company’s president until 2013 and was named chairman in 2009. She graduated in 1977 from National Chengchi University’s Department of Money and Banking.
