The history of Anker
Highlights of this section!
Background of the founding and initial success
Anker was founded in 2011 by Steven Yang.
At the time, the existing mobile accessory market was expensive, and there were few options with excellent performance or design.
To solve that problem, Mr. Yang launched a company that provides high-quality, affordably priced products.
Anker’s first product, a portable charger, gained popularity rapidly by leveraging online sales on Amazon. By not having physical retail stores, they reduced operating costs and passed those savings on to the product’s price and quality.
Furthermore, they prioritized prompt and polite customer support, building trust as a brand.
Global expansion and business diversification
Starting with the success of their portable chargers, Anker expanded their lineup of charging-related products, such as wall chargers, cables, and wireless chargers.
Following this, they expanded into a wide range of fields, including:
- Audio (Soundcore brand)
- Smart home (Eufy brand)
- Projectors (Nebula brand)
Today, they have expanded their products to more than 50 countries and are beloved by tens of millions of users.
Ms.gadgetThey have expanded not only in Japan but also to various countries like the US and UK.
