Breisach am Rhein, Germany, November 30, 2007 – Effective December 1st, 2007, Memorysolution GmbH has been announced as new distributor for the CE market by Hynix Semiconductor Inc.

Under the terms of the contract, Memorysolution takes over the distribution of the whole range of memory products manufactured by Hynix into the Central European markets. Gerald Diercks, Managing Director of Memorysolution GmbH: “We happily joined into this strategic cooperation with another top player in the world market. The contract with Hynix is the logical continuation of our concept set up already in the very beginnings of our business back in 1997. It’s that simple: we only ever provide proven and reliable quality at competitive price tags. We are especially proud that partnering with Hynix enables us to provide substantial added value to our customers: a broadened product portfolio of high-end, proved and tested memory technologies equals further increased product availability. Expanding the range of products made by leading manufacturers can only but let the time-critical business of our valued customer benefit from that.”

Founded in 1997, Memorysolution GmbH today is the leading independent specialized supplier for proprietary memory expansions, Generic Modules and flash-based products in Europe.

The Hyundai spin-off Hynix Semiconductor today is a technology leader (iSupply: no. 2 in DRAM, no. 3 in NAND in 2006) in the fields of DRAM and NAND memory. Through its global manufacturing and sales support network Hynix has emerged as a leading DRAM supplier to major OEMs worldwide. Hynix operates 300mm wafer fabs worldwide.

Currently, Hynix offers a full range of DRAM products with DDR, DDR2 and DDR3 interfaces. A family of Graphic DRAM (GDDR3, GDDR4 and GDDR5) are also available. Hynix also offers low-power DRAM products optimized for use in mobile applications such as cell phones and other handheld devices.

Since 2004, Hynix Semiconductor has also become one of the leading companies in the NAND Flash memory market. Hynix provides not only NAND Flash components for removable data storage devices such as Memory stick, MMC, SD, CF, xD Picture Card and USB flash drive, but also the total NAND solution for many kinds of digital applications such as MP3 player, Personal Media Player (PMP), Digital still camera, Digital camcorder, portable and desktop computer and mobile phones through Multi Chip Package (MCP), DOC (Disk on chip) and Embedded Flash Drive technology.

Memorysolution provides an excellent after-sales support, so that customers are not left alone once a purchase decision was made. All in all their professionalism does create exactly the business climate we wish to see for our products, leading-edge memory solutions made by Hynix.
