OCZ (LSE:OCZ) today announced immediate plans to bring Hypersonic
PC into the OCZ Technology Group. Known primarily as the worldwide
leader in innovative, high-performance computer memory and power
supply units, OCZ acquired Hypersonic PC to employ their rich
expertise in high-end system building and take the organization and
mobile gaming to the next level. Hypersonic has been paving the way in
maximum performance computing since 1996 and established themselves as
a leader attributable to their diligent focus on technology, quality,
craftsmanship, and world-class support. Under the OCZ Technology
Group, the Hypersonic vision can be taken to new heights and grow in
key areas of innovation, product development, and market reach.
Combined with their highly personalized solutions and aggressive
deployment of the newest advances in PC technology, Hypersonic has
earned numerous industry awards and recognition and filled the
enthusiast niche unlike any system builder. Their extensive product
line includes highly-tuned gaming systems, cutting-edge notebooks, and
powerful workstations and is a culmination of their dedication to
their craft and the end-user.
With OCZ taking the lead, the goal is to carry on the Hypersonic
tradition of catering to the demands of the high-end market while
increasing resources to maximize innovation and technological
leadership and at the same time maintaining their high level of
service, quality-control, and customization. Hypersonic PC's
time-honored reputation for putting the extreme enthusiast and gamer
at the forefront of product design and development can now be taken to
the next level with the acquisition.
"OCZ's goal is to deliver the highest performing products to
consumers whether that is with premium components or total solutions,"
said Ryan Petersen, CEO of the OCZ Technology Group. "We are delighted
to welcome Hypersonic PC, a company and brand well-known for their
commitment to enthusiasts into the OCZ fold. Together with the
additional resources of OCZ Technology, Hypersonic-PC will be able to
develop and infuse even more innovation and cutting-edge designs and
features into the brand's leading-edge enthusiast and gaming desktop
and mobile offering."
"Hypersonic, a brand synonymous with performance, is recognized
the world over as an award-winning builder of advanced gaming PCs,
notebooks, and professional workstations," said Fred Cohen, President
and Founder of Hypersonic. "Our strategy has always been to employ
bleeding-edge technology and innovative design backed by the highest
level of customer support. The fusion of OCZ's groundbreaking memory
and power technologies will catapult Hypersonic to a position of
leadership in the performance computing arena."
"Hypersonic is well recognized for crafting some of the most
advanced performance PCs in the world," said Eyal Akler, CEO of
Hypersonic PC. "OCZ Technology Group is clearly a market leader when
it comes to producing high quality, high performance products. I am
confident that OCZ will use its vast capabilities to further improve
the quality and service of the Hypersonic brand. With Hypersonic as
part of the OCZ Technology Group our customers can expect more."
Building on a shared understanding and mutual enthusiasm for
leading-edge computer technology, Hypersonic PC will represent the
system division of the OCZ Technology Group. Previously, Hypersonic PC
customized and pre-built solutions were only available to US customers
through their online store. Under the OCZ Technology Group, Hypersonic
systems will gain the exposure of the established OCZ global channel,
maximizing the availability of the reputable line to enthusiasts
worldwide.
