Kingston Technology Company Inc., the world's largest independent memory module manufacturer, today named Arbitech as a new distributor of Kingston's branded memory products as well as its DataTraveler(R) USB Flash device.

"Arbitech is an excellent fit, both in distributor focus and corporate culture," said John Holland, vice president, domestic sales, Kingston(R). "Their focus on servers, storage and networking is ideal for helping us reach our customers in two very distinct market segments: digital media and server memory; plus we're like-minded when it comes to work ethics and our unique approach to doing business."

"The Kingston brand will significantly increase Arbitech's product offerings and Kingston will be Arbitech's only independent memory manufacturer," said Josh McCarter, Arbitech's COO. "Working together will be win-win. We share similar philosophies of empowering employees; whether it's for pricing or product returns, our employees essentially run their own company inside Arbitech," continued McCarter.

Kingston's signing of Arbitech demonstrates a continued focus on digital media and heightened commitment to the server memory market. Arbitech will initially distribute Kingston branded memory and Kingston's digital media, including the popular DataTraveler line of USB drives.
