Gateway
Founded in 1985 in an Iowa farmhouse, Gateway has grown into one of
America's best known brands with millions of satisfied customers.
Starting with a $10,000 loan guaranteed by his grandmother, a rented
computer and a three-page business plan, Ted Waitt turned Gateway into a
revolutionary company whose innovations helped shape the technology
industry.
The company—previously called Gateway 2000—received national acclaim
in 1991 when it introduced its distinctive cow-spotted boxes, a tribute
to its farm heritage. In 1993, it cracked the Fortune 500 and went
public, trading on the NASDAQ before moving to the New York Stock
Exchange in 1997. The following year, Gateway shifted its headquarters
from North Sioux City, South Dakota, to the San Diego area.
Today headquartered in Irvine, Calif., Gateway is now the third largest PC
company in the United States and among the top ten worldwide. The
company's value-based eMachines brand is sold exclusively by leading
retailers worldwide, while the premium Gateway line is available at major
retailers, over the phone and Web, and through its direct sales force.
Gateway always has been devoted to treating customers with respect and
decency while focusing on service, quality and value. It consistently
ranks among the industry's top companies in customer loyalty, an
accomplishment the company and its employees prize highly.
Gateway, since its earliest days, has pioneered numerous industry trends
and practices. It was the first PC company to offer systems with color
monitors as standard, the first to offer a standard three-year warranty
and the first to commercially explore convergence of the PC and
television. It was one of the nation's early "bricks and clicks"
retailers, and it was among the first direct retailers to sell its own
branded consumer electronics with the launch of the highly successful
Gateway® plasma TV and digital display.
As Gateway pushes into new frontiers, it remains dedicated to its original
objective of helping people improve their lives through technology.
