Mushkin was founded in Denver, Colorado, in 1994.[1] Ramtron International acquired Mushkin in June 2000. Mushkin became a wholly owned subsidiary of Ramtron, who used it to distribute memory modules made by its subsidiary, Enhanced Memory Systems.[2] In 2003, George Stathakis, the general manager, purchased Mushkin from Ramtron and converted it into a worker-owned company.[3] Mushkin is now owned by Avant Technology.[4] But in July 2005, George Stathakis, the general manager, bought Mushkin from Ramtron and became the new owner and president of Mushkin.
