Kingston Technology, a world leader of memory products and technology solutions, today announced a creative alliance with CSD, a leading brand of face masks, to kickstart a one of a kind initiative, Kingston x CSD APAC Mask Design Competition, centered around the theme of ‘There’s Strength in Memory.’
A collaboration echoing the singular vision 'There's Strength in Memory'
Kingston and CSD have worked for many years creating quality products that are a part of everyone's daily life. The partnership comes out of a shared vision as both companies believe that during this unfortunate, unprecedented time, their memories have the power to hold them together and give them immense strength like nothing else.
Commenting on the unique partnership, Kevin Wu, sales/marketing and business development Vice President of APAC region, Kingston, said, "We at Kingston believe that our memories connect us to our inner strengths. For over 30 years, we have worked consistently to empower our customers to create, manage and preserve their digital content on the move, with best-in-class products. Through our partnership with CSD, we are thrilled to announce the Kingston x CSD APAC Mask Design Competition to capture the most enthralling memories on face masks. We expect that this initiative will certainly motivate consumers to come up with something unique for the rest of the world in the form of beautiful face masks. Our partnership with CSD will help us turn a new leaf in our journey to bring people closer to their memories which they really love; and, to embody that Kingston is with you during these life moments.''
Commenting on the competition, Jonathan Chang, COO of CSD, said, "In the past decade, CSD has been looking at the consumer healthcare sector with a new perspective -- changing the monochromatic impression of the consumer healthcare sector by injecting lifestyle and designer elements into it. With over 70 years of the medical industry experience and 5 years of reinventing the concept of what a face mask is, we have successfully invented a series of face masks that not only provides protection for your health, but also acts as a statement of personal style. The Kingston x CSD APAC Mask Design Competition is another step towards reinventing the concept of what an everyday item can be; creating something unique and personal through a collaboration with our consumers, as they turn their individual memories into a fashion statement."

For decades, as the leader in Taiwan for health protection supplies, they have supplied reliable and quality medical suppliers to doctors and hospitals internationally, and have become a significant player in the process. With profound changes in homecare needs over the last few decades, brought about by the likes of SARS, COVID-19, and the changes in the environment's air quality, CSD took their expertise and applied it to their vision for the consumer homecare market. Since 2015, CSD has created a series of fashion medical face masks, which not only deliver high levels of safety and performance, but also combines health and style to an everyday homecare product. In addition, CSD has collaborated with multiple international boutique brands over the past few years, as well as special events and concerts.
