Their technology came when there was a srve short of surface mount memory chips in the high tech market place-in 1980′s.Two guys Jhon Tu and David Sun were desperate to find a solution.They put their engineering expertise to work and came up with a new single In-Linememory Module commonly known as SIMM.
About KIngston’s Owners
Tu and Sun had met in 1982 and started Camintonn Corporation, a manufacturer of enhancement products for DEC systems. This fly-by-night company began in Tu’s garage, with the two businessmen carrying computer memory chips in the back seats of their cars. By 1986, business took off with sales of $9 million. That year, they sold the company to AST Research for $6 million, investing their gains in the stock market.
When the stock market crashed in 1987, Tu and Sun lost almost everything. Then they saw an opportunity to recoup their losses. At that time, the computer industry was suffering from a shortage of memory modules for personal computers. Tu and Sun seized a simple solution to the problem, designing an industry standard Single In-Line Memory Module (SIMM) with an alternative chip that was readily available. This product and a mere $4,000 launched Kingston’s operations, and the company soon began developing memory products for PCs.
