Toshiba Memory has announced that it will officially change its name to 'Kioxia' (kee-ox-ee-uh) on 1 October 2019.

By merging the Japanese word for 'memory' with the Greek word 'value', Toshiba says the name 'Kioxia' represents the company’s mission to uplift the world with 'memory', which forms the foundation of the company’s vision. 

One image can change us.

A picture, a moment can change the way we feel. Change how we see ourselves. Change our understanding and change the rules. Provoke and change history.

MPB puts photo and video kit into more hands, more sustainably. Every month, visual storytellers sell more than 20,000 cameras and lenses to MPB. Choose used and get affordable access to kit that doesn’t cost the earth. Sell the kit you’re not using to MPB. Trade in for the kit you need to create. Buy used, spend less and get more. Buy. Sell. Trade. Create.

The Toshiba Memory Corporation first introduced NAND flash memory in 1987 and with increasing demands for large-capacity, high-performance storage and data processing, Toshiba hopes it will continue to grow as a leading flash memory producer for many years to come.

The name Kioxia will be adopted for the names of all Toshiba Memory companies, largely effective on the same date.
