Dubai, UAE, 5th May, 2009 - Kingston Technology Europe Ltd, a subsidiary of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, is strengthening its Partner Program with the launch of a new interactive partner website and new online Kingston Academy Flash training modules. Reinforcing its channel proposition, to ensure that all partners are fully integrated into Kingston’s business, the new interactive tools have been designed to support the partners growing business demands in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
