Palit Group and Galax have announced that the latter's GPU brand will continue to operate and release hardware, despite reports to the contrary following an announcement of an internal restructuring at Palit Group. It follows reports of Galax ceasing operations. The initial announcement came from Ronaldo Buassali from TecLab, part of Galax Brazil, whose now-deleted X post suggested Galax had exited the market amidst the change. Both Palit and Galax have come forward to clarify that, apart from the internal restructuring, nothing is happening to the Galax brand.
Galax's management will be centralized at Palit Group headquarters, where it will run alongside Palit. Its iconic GPUs, such as the Hall of Fame (HoF) lineup, don't seem to be going anywhere.

In its official statement, Palit said, "GALAX is not ceasing operations. We remain fully committed to the development, production, and support of our high-performance hardware. [...] The recent internal transitions are part of a pre-planned global initiative to integrate brand management for enhanced operational efficiency and cross-departmental synergy."
Galax has been headquartered in Hong Kong since its inception, but with the new management, it will now be run directly out of Palit in Taiwan. "Building upon the successful integration of internal operations between GALAX and Palit, the management of the “GALAX,” “KFA2,” and the flagship “HOF” (Hall of Fame) brands is now being centralized at the Palit Group headquarters," confirmed Palit.
To further back all this up, Galax came forward with its own statement clarifying that it is "continuing to develop, produce, and support [our] award-winning high-performance hardware."
If you go to Galax Brazil's website right now, an official communication notice is still up informing customers that Palit will now handle all RMA and warranty concerns; the global site hosts no such notice. "This move is designed to strengthen the brand’s global presence, not diminish it," according to Galax. It is unclear if any employees have been laid off in the process; however, the aforementioned note from Galax Brazil noted that employees had lost access to systems.
