 PROFILE
Kingston Technology is a kingpin of the memory game. The company is a top maker of memory boards that boost the capacity and speed of computers and printers, and also makes flash memory cards for portable devices such as cellular phones and personal digital assistants. (It has discontinued its offerings of other peripheral devices.) The company is known for its friendliness both to employees (casual clothing and generous bonuses are the norm) and to business partners. (It is sometimes the first to receive scarce components, thanks to its good relations with suppliers.) Founders John Tu (president and CEO) and David Sun (COO), who do business from cubicles identical to their employees', own the company.
