SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 30, 1995--In a move reflecting its continued commitment to the Asia/Pacific region, Compaq Computer Corporation (NYSE:CPQ) today announced the appointment of K.Y. Wong as Vice President and Managing Director of Compaq Asia Pte Ltd, the company's Singapore- based manufacturing operation.

Wong will be responsible for overseeing the expansion of the manufacturing facility -- to be operational in early 1996 -- which will double the size of current facility. The new facility, under construction adjacent to the existing Compaq manufacturing plant, will include the addition of eight new lines to increase production of its portable, desktop and server products as well as printed circuit board assemblies. The expansion will bring the total square footage in Singapore to more than 730,000 square feet.

In addition to managing the expansion, Wong will be responsible for Singapore's manufacturing, design engineering and support activities for the company's operations in Singapore. With more than 17 years experience in the IT industry, Wong has held a number of senior management positions in operations and engineering. Prior to joining Compaq, he was managing director at Advanced Micro Devices, Singapore.

Wong will replace Kirk Moul who has been with Compaq Asia in Singapore since 1989 and Managing Director since 1991. Moul will return to Compaq's corporate headquarters in Houston as vice president, operations alliances, within Corporate Operations. He will be responsible for a number of the company's strategic manufacturing business alliances worldwide.

"The demand for Compaq computers continues to grow worldwide, and our Singapore manufacturing operations have contributed significantly to meeting this growth," said Greg Petsch, Compaq's senior vice president of Corporate Operations. "Kirk, in his four years as vice president and managing director of Compaq Asia, has made a major contribution to the company's success by steering Singapore operations through this period of expansion. We expect that K.Y., with his extensive industry experience, will continue to lead Compaq Asia through this critical aspect of our company's business growth."
