 Lexar Digital Imaging Innovations
"Since our earliest days we have consistently focused on providing our customers with the most reliable, high-performance digital imaging products possible," said Leslie Adams, Vice President, Marketing, Lexar. "We remain committed to this goal as our business evolves and we embrace new and exciting opportunities and capitalize on the growing need for high-capacity removable and portable flash storage in other products such as mobile phones, PDAs and handheld gaming devices." Since the company was formed, Lexar has introduced a lengthy list of breakthrough products including high-speed and high-capacity memory cards and USB flash drives, and workflow-improving flash card readers. For example, Lexar was the first flash memory company to "speed-rate" flash cards and USB flash drives.
Photography website - Lexar flash memory
In addition, in early 2005, Lexar became the first flash memory company to launch and manage a digital photography website. The company's proven expertise in developing and marketing professional and consumer products, and its well-established presence in the retail sector, were contributing factors in Micron's decision to acquire the company. Over the past decade Lexar has marketed flash cards and accessories that have improved the digital imaging experience of consumer and professional photographers alike. This pioneering approach toward the flash memory categories is enhanced by Micron's recent acquisition of the company, which will strengthen Lexar's ability to develop and market impactful, uniquely designed and workflow-improving new products for years to come.
