Kingston Technology Ranked No. 6 in Revenue on Inc. Magazine\u2019s Top 5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies<\/span>
\nRankings for U.S. Companies Based on Three-Year Comparison
\n\"\"
\nSydney, Australia: September 6, 2010 — Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, was ranked No. 6 in total revenue on Inc. magazine\u2019s 2010 listing of America\u2019s fastest-growing private companies. Kingston\u2019s 2009 revenues finished at $4.1 billion (U.S.), the second-highest in company history. Inc.\u2019s top 10 listing by revenue is a subset of the Inc. 5000 listing that ranks the top 5,000 private U.S. companies by three-year revenue growth from 2006 to 2009.<\/p>\n

\u201cKingston is grateful to have made the Inc. 5000 list again. David (Sun) and I are happy that Inc. continues to publish this list as it demonstrates their support of private companies and the strong commitment to the entrepreneurial spirit which is necessary in today\u2019s difficult and competitive environment,\u201d said John Tu, co-founder, Kingston.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are fortunate to have come out strong after the downturn in the memory industry and the general state of the economy of the past few years. For us to continue growing during this weak economy, we will need to keep a very strong focus on process improvement. It is the only way,\u201d said David Sun, co-founder, Kingston.<\/p>\n

Kingston was also ranked 20th in gross-revenue growth for the three years from 2006 to 2009. During that period, Kingston\u2019s revenue grew 12 percent as revenues increased from $3.7 billion in 2006 to $4.1 billion in 2009.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe leaders of the companies on this year\u2019s Inc. 5000 have figured out how to grow their businesses during the longest recession since the Great Depression,\u201d said Inc. president Bob LaPointe. \u201cThe 2010 Inc. 5000 showcases a particularly hardy group of entrepreneurs.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 1992, Kingston was crowned No. 1, as the fastest growing private company by Inc. magazine for previous-year revenue of over $140 million and a workforce of 130 employees. In 2007, Inc. magazine honored Tu and Sun with the inaugural Distinguished Alumni Goldhirsh Award, for leadership, guidance and the embodiment of the American entrepreneurial spirit which were the core values of Inc. founder Bernie Goldhirsh.<\/p>\n
