Happy Anniversary Premio: 37 Years of Innovation, Reliability, and Edge AI Leadership


A Legacy Built for What's Next

Every milestone tells a story, and Premio's 37th Anniversary is a celebration of nearly four decades of innovation, resilience, and customer partnership.

Since 1989, Premio has grown from a Southern California industrial computing company into a global leader in rugged Edge AI and embedded computing solutions. Along the way, we've helped organizations across manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, defense, retail, and energy solve complex computing challenges with reliable, purpose-built hardware.

With more than five million systems deployed worldwide, our mission remains unchanged: to design rugged computing platforms that perform where reliability matters most.

As AI continues to reshape industries, we're proud to help organizations bring intelligence closer to where data is created—at the edge.

Built Rugged. Built Ready.

One Global Brand. One Unified Vision.


 

This anniversary also marks a significant milestone in Premio's evolution.

In 2026, Premio Inc. (United States) and C&T Solution Inc. (Taiwan) officially united under a single global Premio brand. This strategic integration combines decades of engineering expertise, manufacturing excellence, and technical innovation into one cohesive organization.

For customers, this means:

             Faster innovation

             Global engineering collaboration

             Expanded manufacturing capabilities

             Localized support

             Continued compliance with global certifications, including UL, FCC, and CE

Together, we're better positioned to help organizations accelerate their Edge AI initiatives with greater speed, flexibility, and confidence.

Why Edge AI Starts with Hardware


Artificial intelligence is changing how organizations operate, but AI is only as effective as the hardware supporting it.

Whether it's an autonomous robot navigating a warehouse, a machine vision system inspecting products, or a medical device processing critical data, these applications require real-time computing at the edge.

That's why our philosophy remains simple:

There Is No Edge Without Hardware.

Purpose-built hardware reduces latency, improves reliability, strengthens security, and enables organizations to process data where it's generated.

Reliable AI starts with reliable infrastructure.

Powering the Next Generation of Edge AI

Computing engineering has always been at the heart of Premio's success, and today's product portfolio reflects decades of engineering expertise.
