Kingston Technology Among “America’s Largest Private Companies” by Forbes

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kingston Technology Company, Inc., a world leader in memory products and technology solutions, today announced it has been ranked #19 on the 2021 list of America’s Largest Private Companies by Forbes®. Additionally in the report, Kingston leads the pack in the industry rank of ‘Technology Hardware & Equipment’.

Through the last few years of uncertain market conditions, Kingston continues to offer top-tier sales support and access to in-house product experts and engineers who embody the “Kingston Is With You” working attitude that has led to three successful decades of reliability and support for its customers. Kingston maintains its competitive advantage by working closely with its suppliers, partners, and customers to remain flexible and adapt to ever-changing needs.

In 2021, Kingston was ranked as the #1 supplier of third-party DRAM for the 18th consecutive year, named #1 supplier of Channel SSD, and has been the #1 supplier of hardware-encrypted USB drives since 2016, including Kingston’s IronKey line. Collectively, with the introduction of its new performance and enthusiast gaming line, Kingston FURY™, has led to an exceptional year for Kingston. The company was also a leader in the launch of DDR5 products, being the first third-party supplier to receive Intel® Platform Validation.

“This Forbes standing is a great honor and we’re proud of the growth we have achieved over a difficult and challenging period for businesses around the world. It could not have been accomplished without strong support from our vendors, resellers and distribution partners,” said Craig Tilmont, senior director of marketing, Kingston. “Thank you to all that have shared in our success. Our enthusiasm is one of a start-up team but backed by years of experience. This is an exciting time for Kingston and new technology, especially with our upcoming 35-year anniversary in 2022.”
