PROFILE |
 |
Headway Technologies has made some progress in the disk drive market. The company makes recording heads for computer disk drives, including giant magnetoresistive heads, the industry's current standard. Headway's heads -- which align the magnetic particles on a recording disk -- are used in PC, portable computer, and server disk drives. They are sold in the form of sliced wafer rows (sliders), sliders attached to steel suspensions (head gimbal assemblies), and ceramic wafers. Leading disk drive manufacturers including Maxtor, Seagate, and Toshiba incorporate Headway's components in their products. After withdrawing its IPO in late 1999, Headway was acquired by and became a subsidiary of competitor TDK in 2000.
