HISTORY

Kingston Technology was founded on October 17, 1987, in response to a severe shortage of surface-mount memory chips in the high-tech marketplace in the 1980s. To provide a solution, Taiwan immigrants John Tu and David Sun drew on their engineering expertise and designed a new single in-line memory module (SIMM) that used readily available, older-technology through-hole components. In 1989 Kingston differentiated itself from its competitors with 100-percent testing, which resulted in quality assurance and the leadership position in the market.[citation needed] The following year the company branched out into its first non-memory product line, processor upgrades. By 1992, Kingston was ranked #1 by Inc. as the fastest-growing privately held company in America. The company expanded into networking and storage product lines, and introduced DataTraveler and Data Pack portable products. In September 1994, Kingston became ISO 9000 certified on its first assessment attempt.
