The company began manufacturing Epson's Equity line of personal computers in 1987, after Epson had purchased a 20 percent stake in TriGem. By 1990, TriGem cornered dot matrix printer production in Korea, with an 80-percent market share. In 1982, TriGem forged a partnership with Seiko Epson of Japan, committing to build computer peripherals such as printers for the latter on an OEM basis. In 1981, TriGem delivered Korea's first microcomputer, and in 1984, they developed the country's first IBM PC–compatible personal computer. TriGem was the first Korean company dedicated to manufacturing computer systems, bucking from the trend of established chaebol conglomerates such as Hyundai, Lucky-Goldstar (LG), and Daewoo, who had opened divisions to manufacture electronic components that go into computers (namely DRAM) but who had cold feet about fully entering the burgeoning global microcomputer market. TriGem Computer was founded in 1980 by Lee Yong-tae with ₩10,000,000 in start-up capital. From that point until its breakup in 2010, it alternated between the first- and second-largest computer manufacturer in South Korea, competing with Samsung Electronics. It delivered Korea's first microcomputer in 1981 and the first Korean IBM PC compatibles in 1984. Established in 1980, TriGem was the first Korean company dedicated to manufacturing computer systems. ( Korean: 삼보컴퓨터 RR: Sambo Computer, abbreviated TG, also known as TGSambo), was a South Korean personal computer manufacturer and technology company.
