Business Description
The company supplies high-performance thin film disks for high-end, high capacity hard disk drives used in personal computers, network servers and workstations. The disks currently being shipped by the Company are for disk drives with storage capacities ranging from 1.6 to 9 gigabytes, and all have coercivity levels of 1900 Oe or higher. Since March 1994, the Company has focused on addressing the needs of this high-end, high-capacity segment of the disk drive market. HMT believes that its recent operating results reflect its success in meeting these needs and that its future growth and success depend on its ability to continue to develop and market products that enable its customers to produce high-performance disk drives for high-end data storage applications. The Company currently focuses all of its production capacity on 3.5-inch disks to Maxtor Corporation, Western Digital Corporation, Micropolis Corporation, Quantum Corporation, Iomega Corporation and Hewlett-Packard Company.
