American Megatrends Inc. Reaches 1000th Employee Milestone

NORCROSS, GEORGIA –American Megatrends (AMI), a leader in BIOS, storage and server management innovations, is pleased to announce that during 2011 the company reached a major milestone it its history by adding its 1,000th employee to its global workforce.

Over the past several years, AMI has been fortunate to experience sustained growth - in particular in developing markets in Asia with China, India and Taiwan at the forefront. At present, in addition to its corporate headquarters in Norcross, Georgia and R&D Center in Fremont, California, AMI operates branch and subsidiary offices in China, Germany, India, Japan, Korea and Taiwan.

AMI’s employee enrollment has taken a jump in recent years, adding employees at a rate of over 100 per year for the past three years. But the growth of AMI has not come at the expense of the quality and technical skill of its workforce or its products. Most remarkably, AMI’s ratio of employees in technical positions has remained unchanged despite its rapid growth, reflecting the company’s enduring commitment to technology leadership. To this day, still over 80% of employees are contributing to AMI in an engineering-related capacity.

In the words of AMI’s President and CEO, S. Shankar, “AMI remains focused on continued growth and expansion in key global markets for the future. The news of this milestone underscores the history of innovation and teamwork within our company and the excellence and skill of our employees. Our customers around the world can continue to depend on AMI for the highest quality products and services from each of its product groups, and remain confident that their partnerships with AMI will continue to bear fruit for many years to come.”
