About Company

Avago Technologies brings together the capabilities and track record of an established global leader with the energy and responsiveness of a startup. We spent our first three decades as part of HP, where we acquired a reputation for innovation, quality and superior customer service and amassed an intellectual property portfolio of more than 2,000 patents. During the next few years we continued to diversify and grow as the semiconductor division of HP’s spinoff, Agilent Technologies. Then in late 2005 we were acquired by KKR and Silver Lake Partners, and became an independent company.

Avago provides an extensive range of analog, mixed-signal and optoelectronic components and subsystems to more than 40,000 customers, including many of the world’s top original equipment manufacturers. Avago Technologies has the industry’s best on-time delivery record, and an unsurpassed global distribution network. Our worldwide design and application resources allow us to work face-to-face with customers, and we have the R&D, manufacturing and global supply chain to deliver cutting-edge technology in high volumes, to accelerate market adoption.
