Admiral Overseas Corporation (AOC) was founded in Chicago, Illinois, by Ross Siragusa as the Asian arm of his Admiral Corporation, and later established in Taiwan in 1967 as the first manufacturer of colour televisions for export. In 1978, Admiral Overseas Corporation was renamed AOC International. Direct marketing under the AOC brand name began in 1979. From 1988 to 1997, AOC established its sales offices in United States, China, Europe, and Brazil. AOC was launched in India and Mexico in 2005 and 2006, respectively. Today,[when?] AOC products including CRT and LCD monitors, LCD television sets, all-in-one units and Android tablets, are available in more than 40 countries worldwide.[citation needed]

In 2022, AOC's AGON line of gaming monitors was the best-selling gaming monitor brand, with a 29% market share.[3]

In 2024, with its Graphic Pro series, AOC presented monitors aimed at professional users in the field of image and video editing for the first time.[4][5]
