ATP Electronics was established in Silicon Valley in 1991 as a producer of NAND-based storage DRAM modules and later moved its main office to Taipei, Taiwan. The company's portfolio featured industrial-grade SSDs, SD and microSD memory cards, and DRAM solutions catering to industries including Networking, Enterprise Mobility, Automotive, Military, IPC/Embedded Systems, Healthcare, Gaming, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Intel's Computer Memory Test Lab (CMTL), a prominent third-party testing authority for Intel server platforms, recognized ATP Electronics as one of only two memory module suppliers recommended for motherboard purchases within Taiwan.
2000-2010
- In 2003, ATP pioneered the mass-market release of a 1 GB MultiMediaCard (MMC).
- The year 2007 saw ATP introduce the GPS PhotoFinder, a device that automated geotagging for JPEG images. This innovative product received coverage from media outlets such as The New York Times and CNBC during CES 2008 and earned the Taiwan Excellence Award as the smallest GPS data logger for geotagging worldwide.
- Also in 2007, ATP formed a partnership with Susan G. Komen for the Cure, contributing a share of Petito USB drive sales towards cancer research and global education initiatives.
- In 2008, ATP launched the EarthDrive USB—a flash drive composed of polylactic acid and designed to be bio-recyclable—in collaboration with American Forests, marking the first eco-friendly USB drive globally.
- ATP teamed up with Sesame Street in 2009 to release Sesame Street Video USB drives targeted at children; proceeds benefited before- and after-school care programs in Santa Clara District elementary schools.
- By 2010, ATP developed an SLC NAND-based SSD capable of connecting directly to a motherboard’s USB header.
2011-Present
Starting in 2011, ATP redirected its focus towards producing industrial OEM memory products. The company enhanced its technologies and manufacturing techniques to supply NAND Flash and DRAM embedded modules that prioritize data integrity, durability, endurance, and data security, specifically tailored for industrial environments and hosting applications.
