Zotac and Inno3D leave China to avoid restrictions imposed by the USA

PC Partner, a Hong Kong company specializing in the production of GPUs for brands such as Zotac, Inno3D and Manli, has decided to relocate its headquarters to Singapore and move production to Indonesia. This strategic move was made in anticipation of the launch of NVDIA GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards, thus circumventing potential export restrictions on advanced technologies imposed by the United States on China.

This strategic shift highlights the impact of geopolitical tensions on the global technology sector. PC Partner, despite not being a well-known name to the general publicis actually a major player in the graphics card market, being the second largest video card manufacturer in the world.

The relocation of the headquarters to Singapore is confirmed by the recent listing of PC Partner Group Limited (PCT) on the SGX stock exchange in Singapore. The shift of production to Indonesia, however, remains an unconfirmed rumor at the moment.

This corporate reorganization could have major repercussions on the global graphics card market. By operating from territories not subject to sanctions, PC Partner will be able to continue the production and distribution of graphics cards NVIDIA RTX 50 (as well as the distribution of the models remaining on the market 4000 series that you can find on Amazon) under the Zotac brand in Western markets and other interested countries.

Considering the significant performance improvements expected for the RTX 50 series it is possible that the entire line of graphics cards could fall into the restricted categories. PC Partner’s move therefore aims to eliminate any uncertainty for its future business, remaining ready to satisfy the enormous customer demand that is now predicted by every single manufacturer.

This development highlights how technology companies are adapting their strategies in response to growing trade tensions between the United States and Chinatrying to guarantee the continuity of its production and maintaining distribution globally.
