We are a world leader in innovative memory and storage solutions that transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. For over 45 years, our company has been instrumental to the world's most significant technology advancements, delivering optimal memory and storage systems for a broad range of applications. Our journey began in 1978 as a four-person semiconductor design company in the basement of a Boise, Idaho dental office. By 1980, we had broken ground on our first fabrication plant, and then just a few years later we introduced the world's smallest 256K DRAM. In 1994, we earned a spot on the Fortune 500 and steadily grew into an industry leader through our technology innovations, key partnerships, and strategic acquisitions around the world.
Our broad portfolio of high-performance memory and storage technologies, including DRAM, NAND, and NOR Flash, is transforming how the world uses information. We're passionate about enabling disruptive trends, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and autonomous vehicles, in key market segments like data center, networking, automotive, industrial, mobile, graphics, and client. With a relentless focus on our customers, technology leadership, and manufacturing and operational excellence, we deliver a rich portfolio of products through our Micron and Crucial brands. Every day, the innovations that our people create fuel the data economy, enabling advances that unleash opportunities from the data center to the intelligent edge and across the client and mobile user experience. We are proud of our history and excited for all that we will achieve together, transforming how the world uses information to enrich life.
