About
Kioxia Holdings Corporation is a Japanese semiconductor company that specializes in NAND flash memory and solid-state drives (SSDs). Its history is deeply intertwined with Toshiba, from which it was spun off. The company's name itself is a blend of the Japanese word for memory, "kioku," and the Greek word for value, "axia," reflecting its core business and mission.
The origins of Kioxia trace back to Toshiba's invention of NAND flash memory in 1987. The company was officially established as Toshiba Memory Corporation in June 2018, following its carve-out from Toshiba Group. In October 2019, it was renamed Kioxia Holdings Corporation, marking its independent identity and a new strategic direction. Kioxia was listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in December 2024.
