Kioxia
Kioxia Corporation, headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, is one of the world’s foremost suppliers of flash memory and solid-state storage solutions. The company was originally part of Toshiba, which invented NAND flash memory in 1987, and in 2019 Toshiba Memory was rebranded as Kioxia. Today, Kioxia continues that legacy as an independent leader in storage technology, driving innovation across consumer, enterprise, and industrial markets.
Kioxia’s product portfolio spans NAND flash memory, embedded storage, and solid-state drives (SSDs). Its SSD lineup covers client, enterprise, and data-centre applications, delivering performance and reliability for everything from PCs and gaming systems to hyperscale cloud infrastructure. The company is also a key supplier of e-MMC, UFS, and other embedded memory solutions widely used in smartphones, automotive systems, IoT devices, and industrial equipment.
As one of the inventors and ongoing leaders of NAND flash, Kioxia continues to advance memory density, performance, and endurance. Its BiCS FLASH 3D NAND technology is at the core of its latest products, offering improved efficiency and storage capacity for high-performance computing, AI workloads, and next-generation mobile devices. The company also invests in emerging technologies such as XL-FLASH, a low-latency memory designed to bridge the gap between DRAM and NAND in demanding applications.
Kioxia maintains a strong global presence with R&D centres, manufacturing facilities, and sales offices across Japan, Asia, the Americas, and Europe. It operates large-scale manufacturing plants in partnership with Western Digital, providing a resilient supply of advanced flash products to global customers.
Beyond technology, Kioxia positions itself around the concept of “memory centric” innovation, aiming to enrich society through its storage solutions. With its heritage of invention, focus on cutting-edge NAND technologies, and commitment to customer collaboration, Kioxia has established itself as a trusted partner enabling the digital transformation of industries and everyday life.
