History

The company expanded significantly through the late 1990s and early 2000s, establishing manufacturing plants in Taoyuan, Taiwan (1998) and China (2000-2001), while obtaining ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications in 2001. The company was listed on the Taiwan stock exchange in 2002 (stock code 3015) and acquired Protek Power in 2007 to expand into medical power supplies.

Reputation

FSP is recognized as a reliable and established power supply manufacturer with strong OEM relationships and global distribution. The company benefits from its position as a major supplier to leading computer and electronics brands, lending credibility to its products. However, the FSP retail brand remains less prominent than some competitors in consumer markets, with recognition primarily among enthusiasts and professionals familiar with OEM supply chains. The company maintains solid reputation for quality and certification compliance, though it operates more as an infrastructure supplier than a consumer-facing brand.
