Gary Swanson to head new Memphis office

The new operations will give Memphis access to one of the key technology hubs in the USA. Marco Mezger, President of Memphis’ global Sales and Marketing activities, explained: “As infrastructure, networking, and telecom products have considerable life cycles, long term availability of the required components is a key concern for our customers. With our robust line card of 20 memory manufacturers, we offer alternatives to almost every memory component in the market. Furthermore, with our Memphis memory ICs and modules, we address the long term needs of our partners, and add real value in terms of cost and availability.” In October 2010 Memphis introduced its own brand of 1 GBit DDR1 and 2 GBit DDR2 memory ICs. Together with memory modules based upon Memphis ICs, these devices added to the company’s strong growth and are increasingly sought after by US customers. The new San Jose location will be ideally suited to serve the demands of one of the strongest customer bases for Memphis in the region.
