Premier Image Technology Corp. was founded in 1983 as Premier Camera Taiwan Ltd.. It started its business with the development of a disc camera and the development and production of a pocket camera. Among its products was one of the few compact cameras for type No. 110 film cartridges with automatic motorized film advance.

1986 it began producing 35mm cameras. In 1996 it added APS cameras to its product portfolio. In 1999 it introduced its first digital still camera, and was listed at the Taiwan Stock Exchange Market. In the year 2000 it acquired Pretec, another maker of digital still cameras. It became the largest maker of digital cameras in Taiwan. It made some of the budget digicams of big brands like Rollei, Pentax and Ricoh as well as some of the cameras of the brand Traveler which is marketed by Germany's largest food retail chain Aldi.

In Dec. 2006 the company was taken over by the international Taiwanese group Foxconn which became that way "the world's largest DSC manufacturing services provider" [Foxconn] (DSC=digital still camera).
