Through its subsidiary BenQ Medical Technology, the company delivers integrated operating room solutions and hospital automation systems to healthcare facilities across Asia.

Company Overview

Established in 1984 and headquartered in Taoyuan City, Taiwan, Qisda began as an ODM/OEM provider for consumer electronics before expanding into medical technology. The company trades on the Taiwan Stock Exchange under ticker 2352.TW and maintains R&D centers in Taiwan and China, with manufacturing facilities spanning Taiwan, China, and Mexico.
