Acer is a Taiwanese multinational hardware and electronics corporation specializing in advanced electronics technology. Its products include desktop PCs, laptop PCs , tablets, servers, storage devices, virtual reality devices, displays, smartphones and peripherals.
The company is one of the leaders in the market of laptops and desktop PCs. In 2018 and 2019, Acer's Russian business was recognized as the best in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and received the Best Country 2018 and Best Country 2019 awards. Russia slashes parallel imports — Acer, Asus, HP, Intel and other major brands are now under restrictions.
Acer has decided to suspend its business in Russia due to recent developments. But Taiwan-based computer manufacturer Acer supplied at least $70.4 million worth of computer hardware to Russia between April 8, 2022 and March 31, 2023, according to customs.
