What APRO Co does

APRO Co., Ltd. is a Taiwan-based manufacturer of industrial-grade flash storage and DRAM memory modules, founded in 2004 and headquartered in New Taipei City. The company specializes in solid-state drives (SSDs), DRAM modules, and removable storage products engineered for harsh-environment and mission-critical deployments, serving industrial and military customers globally.

Its product portfolio spans industrial SSDs in multiple form factors (CFast, mSATA, SATA DOM, 2.5" SATA, M.2, PCIe), DDR3 and DDR4 DRAM modules, USB flash drives, SD/microSD cards, eMMC, and legacy PATA devices, plus storage adapters. APRO differentiates through proprietary firmware algorithms incorporating Sudden Power Failure Data Protection, aSLC technology, LDPC error correction, 4K Mapping, static and dynamic wear leveling, NCQ, and conformal coating for rugged deployment. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, RoHS, and REACH certifications.

The company operates a direct enterprise field-sales model with quote-based pricing (no public price list), 24-hour response times, and global shipping.
