@Informinator + Creative Labs

Creative Labs, founded in 1981 in Singapore by childhood friends Sim Wong Hoo and Ng Kai Wa, opened a computer and electronic repair store in the Pearl's Centre, a shopping mall in the Chinatown district of Singapore. Eventually, the company branched out, and Creative Labs began expanding internationally and quickly became associated with its Sound Blaster range of PC sound card add-on boards. The enormous commercial success of the Creative Labs Sound Blaster sound card had a massive effect on the company's revenue, growing it from just $5.4 million US dollars in 1989 to $658 million in just five short years. Creative Labs revenue peaked in 1996 at an astonishing $1.6 billion US dollars. Today, Creative Labs offers a range of computer products on its e-commerce web store, including its famous Sound Blaster sound cards, Speaker systems, Headphones, Webcams, DACs, Amplifiers, Soundbars, computer adapters, and accessories.
