fabrik

Fabrik provides both online storage and hardware products. The company was founded in 2005 as a purely online storage service allowing users to upload and share digital media. In February 2007, Fabrik acquired SimpleTech’s consumer business unit, including flash memory cards, USB flash drives, and memory upgrades, for approximately $43 million. In January 2007, Fabrik acquired G-Technology, which sells high performance external drives, for an undisclosed amount.
