Dear Valued Customers and Partners,
I am reaching out regarding this week’s events in Taiwan and recent media coverage about shipments of Supermicro products. We deeply value the trust you place in us to meet your AI, cloud, and enterprise infrastructure needs, and believe it is important that you hear directly from me.
Over the past few days, the media has reported on a Taiwanese investigation relating to Supermicro. First and foremost, I want to emphasize that the relevant authorities have confirmed that Supermicro is not a target of this investigation. In fact, we have been providing information to and working in cooperation with Taiwanese authorities for several months to assist in their efforts. We highlighted aspects of our collaboration in a May 28, 2026 press release, which you can read here.
Let me also correct one point that has been widely misreported: Supermicro’s offices in Taiwan were not raided by any government authorities. Rather, this week’s events reflect our ongoing collaboration with Taiwanese authorities. Here are the facts:
- On Monday (6/29/26), four Supermicro Taiwan employees were detained for questioning in connection with the Taiwanese investigation regarding Supermicro’s sale of products to a technology company in Taiwan.
- We coordinated with authorities to provide access to those employees’ desks and electronic devices.
- Two of the four employees have been detained pending a hearing, and the other two have been released on bail.
- We have zero tolerance for anyone who violates the law or our internal policies, and the four employees were immediately placed on administrative leave pending the conclusion of the Taiwanese investigation.
We do not have the full visibility of the investigation as it is ongoing. Most importantly, I want to assure you this has absolutely no impact on our ability to serve and support you. Our team remains 100% focused on execution—delivering the highest-performance, most reliable datacenter infrastructure solutions and driving the first-to-market and first-to-online innovations you have always expected from us.
Supermicro remains committed to protect US interests and to safeguarding our advanced technologies and intellectual property for the benefit of our customers, our partners, our company and our industry. While managing a complex global supply chain and a multi-tier distribution model is an industry-wide challenge, we maintain a robust compliance program. As part of this, we continue to work closely with government authorities, external advisors, and other stakeholders to strengthen our safeguards, prevent illicit technology diversion, and navigate evolving threats and industry risks.
As always, thank you for your strong partnership and support. If you have further questions, please reach out to your typical company contact.
Sincerely,
Matt ThaubergerChief Revenue OfficerSupermicro
