Kingston Technology Co. has sold their Payton subsidiary to China’s Shenzhen Kaifa Technology Co. Ltd. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, and the deal still needs approvals from the Chinese government. Kaifa will assume one-hundred-percent equity stake in Payton. The deal will enable Payton to expand its horizons into wider areas for semiconductor packaging and testing as the computer industry continues to evolve.
The agreement allows Payton to get its foot in the door in the Chinese market by attracting local customers and possible future capital injections. Both companies have stated their desire to continue working together in the future once the agreement is complete.
