Not all doom and gloom in the industry

According to Digitimes, Kingston has been doing so well over the past year that they're planning a new memory production plant in Taiwan for next year, as with their current infrastructure they won't be able to meet future demand.

It goes to show that it's not all going downhill in the IT market, despite many companies reporting slow down in business. Kingston is the world's largest memory manufacturer that doesn't own its own IC plant, which says something about the way they're doing business.

Although the general downturn in the memory industry has been a positive thing for Kingston, as it allows them to buy the memory chips cheaper than ever, it's not going to go on forever. Despite this, Kingston has in the past been less affected by memory pricing than some of its competitors.

The new plant in Taiwan will complement the facility that Kingston already has in Taiwan, as well as two plants in China, one in Malaysia and a smaller one in the U.S. Among them, the plants have a total of 53 production lines for both DRAM and flash memory products.
