14 DAY TRIAL // Although the world's economy has not really recorded its best period ever back in 2010, that hasn't stopped Kingston from recording one of its best years ever, the company achieving a record revenue last year.
As most of you probably know, Kingston's been particularly active lately in the field of SSDs, memory modules and flash drives, its active involvement in all of these different market segments helping it record some pretty impressive sales figures.
So, as the company reveals, its overall global revenues in 2010 have managed to reach an impressive value, namely $6.5 billion (U.S.), marking yet another record in the company's history (but that's not really a surprise, Kingston managing to constantly beat its own revenue records over the past few years or so).
But the scale of Kingston's success is even more clearly visible when taking a look at the 2009 revenue figures, the net increase in 2010 being of 2.4 billion US dollars.
According to Kingston, the reasons for their success are directly related to an increase in the average selling price (ASP) and increased shipment volumes across all of its product lineups, whether we're talking about corporate or end consumers.
"Our company was able to take advantage of an improving global economy as well as catch some lucky breaks to achieve our best sales year ever in 2010," said David Sun, co-founder, Kingston, adding that "we are very fortunate to have dedicated and hard-working employees who work tirelessly alongside our partners and vendors to make sure that Kingston's customers are treated with respect and always taken care of."
Of course, it remains to be seen whether Kingston will manage to keep up its exceptionally good run over the course of 2011, but given the company's expertise, business conduct and management, it's quite likely that it will manage to do so.
