N/A
Address

It develops flexible and customizable component solutions quickly and efficiently to meet the ever changing market needs and provide superior customer service.

As a result, its target customers are increasingly enterprises and original equipment manufacturers (or OEMs). It designs, develops, manufactures and distributes high performance components for computing devices and systems, including SSDs, other flash memory storage, memory modules, thermal management solutions and PSUs. Its ten largest customers are Amazon.com; ASK Corporation; BAS Group; D&H Distribution Company; Maxcom Memory GmbH; Memoryworld GmbH & Co., KG; Micro Center Corporation; Micro Peripherals LTD; NewEgg.com, operated by Magnell Associate Inc.; and SYX Distribution, Inc.
