History and Founding of Dell Technologies Inc.
Dell Technologies Inc. was founded in 1984 when Michael Dell, then a student at the University of Texas, launched a business with an initial investment of US$1,000 to sell custom-built computers directly to consumers. The direct-sales model became a competitive advantage and fueled the company’s rapid growth.
In the late 1980s, Dell began its international expansion with the opening of its first subsidiary in the United Kingdom, followed by the establishment of a manufacturing center in Ireland to serve markets in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
The success of its operations led the company to go public in 1988, securing capital to support its global expansion. Key milestones in Dell’s trajectory include:
1998: Expansion into China and the opening of additional facilities in Brazil, Ireland, and the United States.
2001: Became the world’s largest supplier of computer systems, surpassing industry competitors.
2016: Acquisition of EMC Corporation for US$67 billion, forming Dell Technologies—one of the largest technology conglomerates in the IT sector.
2020–2024: Expanded its presence in cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and digital security, and divested its stake in VMware to focus more strongly on infrastructure solutions and enterprise clients.
In recent years, Dell has invested in modernizing its products and services, keeping pace with changes in the technology landscape and reinforcing its position in IT infrastructure and cloud computing. The company continues to expand its portfolio to meet the growing demands of the sector.
