History

PNY Electronics, Inc. was founded in Brooklyn, New York, in 1985 by Gadi Cohen as a company that bought and sold memory chips.

In 1996, the company was headquartered in Moonachie, New Jersey, and had a manufacturing production plant there, an additional plant in Santa Clara, California, and served Europe from a third facility in Bordeaux, France.

To emphasize its expansion into manufacturing new forms of memory and complementary products, the company changed its name to PNY Technologies, Inc. in 1997. The company has main offices in Parsippany, New Jersey; Santa Clara, California; Miami, Florida; Bordeaux, France, and Taiwan.

In 2009, the New Jersey Nets sold the naming rights of their practice jerseys to PNY. In 2011, PNY moved its global headquarters and main manufacturing facility to a 40+ acre location on Jefferson Road in Parsippany, NJ.
