The reliable brand

In 2001, the RITEK Corporation decided to market the Traxdata brand throughout Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

The current portfolio of products includes recordable/rewritable CD and DVD media and flash memory products. However, the search is always on for new and innovative improvements or additions to the range. This genuine commitment to innovation has resulted in a state-of-the-art Research and Development centre being created where the most advanced research equipment and laboratories in the optical, electronic and chemical fields are operated by leading R&D teams.

Traxdata is committed to providing easy digital solutions to everyone whether at home, in the office or on the move. Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, Traxdata’s wide range of products has something reliable to offer and to cover all digital storage needs.
