PNY Technologies, Inc., commonly known as PNY, is a United States-based producer of flash memory cards, USB drives, solid state drives, memory enhancements, portable power banks, computer security locks, cables, chargers, adapters, and high-performance graphics cards. The company's main office is located in Parsippany-Troy Hills, New Jersey.
The name PNY originates from "Paris, New York," symbolizing the company's initial business of trading memory modules between these two cities.
History
Established in 1985 in Brooklyn, New York, PNY Electronics initially focused on purchasing and distributing memory chips.
By 1996, the firm had manufacturing facilities in Moonachie, New Jersey and Santa Clara, California, along with a European branch based in Bordeaux, France. In 1997, reflecting its diversification into producing new memory products, the company adopted the name PNY Technologies, Inc. Today, it operates offices in Parsippany, New Jersey, Santa Clara, Miami, Florida, Bordeaux, and Taiwan.
In 2009, PNY secured the naming rights for the practice jerseys of the New Jersey Nets. The following year, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie met with CEO Gadi Cohen to persuade the company to stay within the state amid potential relocation plans. Subsequently, in 2011, PNY moved its worldwide headquarters and primary manufacturing operations to a property exceeding 40 acres on Jefferson Road in Parsippany. Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno commended the company as "a real good business news story for New Jersey."
