Memorex Company History
Forty years ago, a group of engineers joined together to produce a backup medium for the computer industry. The name of their new venture? You guessed it - Memorex.
1961 was a big year. While NASA launched the first manned space capsule, Memorex was launched. Their earliest products were Data Backup Tapes for the emerging computer industry. But within a few short years, their engineers had developed a line of Recordable Tapes for consumers. Memorex' business and product line continued to grow. And by 1971, they introduced Recordable Audio Cassettes. The rest, as they say, is history.
Their entrance into the Audio Cassette market was kicked off by a landmark advertising campaign. The image of Ella Fitzgerald's recorded voice shattering a wine glass was seen and remembered by millions. And the accompanying theme line, "Is it live or is it Memorex?," was quickly adopted by mainstream America. 30 years later, the phrase continues to pop up in countless interviews, talk shows and conversations - still serving as the ultimate benchmark for separating the "wanna-be" from the "real thing."
Audio Tape
In 1971, Memorex launched Recordable Audio Cassettes with one of the most memorable campaigns in television history, and led the industry in sales for the next 20 years.
Video Tape
In 1979, Memorex followed their success in Audio Tape with the launch of Recordable VHS tape. Soon, bookshelves across America displayed a new kind of library - the video library.
Recordable CD-R
In 1996, Recordable CD-Rs opened up a world of new possibilities. Photos, music, data - anything digital, now had a portable, low-cost home for the next 100 years.
Flash Media
In 2000, as media formats grew smaller, capacities continued to expand. The Memorex CompactFlash and SmartMedia cards are smaller than a matchbook, yet holds hundreds of digital photos.
Pocket CD-R
This year Memorex introduced their Recordable Pocket CD-R. Pocket CD-R goes where no CD-R has ever gone before at 3 inches. It is another "small" breakthrough in media.
DVD
A lot can happen in 40 years. This year's introduction of Memorex Recordable DVD lets you hold an entire set of encyclopedias in one hand. Where will it end? Check back in another 40 years.
