Anker as a company name hmmm?

#1

I don’t know if anyone could really answer this apart from the CEO of Anker or maybe everyone knows but I’ll ask anyways. So I thought this might be a cool and quite interesting backstory behind this on how the Company started and why the is company is called Anker in the start any backstory?

This question you’d better ask Steven Yang!!!:laughing::laughing:

According to Wikipedia:

Anker is a Chinese electronics brand owned by Anker Innovations[1] based in Shenzhen, Guangdong. The brand is known for producing computer and mobile peripherals. The name Anker comes from the German word for anchor.

I asked the question some times ago.
There was given a useful answer.
May be you find that thread.

I feel theirs like a goodback story like the Founder of Anker had his laptop battery break and wanted other battery alternatives and they were to expensive or they were low capacity or something so he got the bright idea of making batteries lol.

:rofl: :rofl: maybe that was the reason he started the business

#11

Definitely something I’d watch too… Maybe the first battery is in a museum and it’ll feature on secrets of the museum or something‽

#12

That’d be quite interesting to see lol.

#13

Maybe the thriving, involving and inclusive forum could be mentioned if that documentary ever happened :tongue:

. I already read once somewhere but Yang named the company Anker, after the German word for ship anchor.

The story of the company is within the link provided by @AnkerOfficial. :):grinning:
