We just discovered this firm being in SSDs, the 98th SSD maker in the world in our global list.

Biwin Technology was founded in 1995 in Xili, Shenzhen, China, being engaged in HDDs and floppy disks. Then it manufactured memory cards, VGA, USB 3.0 keys. It entered into its own branded SSDs in 2009.

Biwin Semiconductor, a wholly-owned R&D subsidiary set up in 2009 in Nanshan, Shenzhen, China with total capital invested reaching to 300 million RMB, is the first company who goes into NAND flash assembly and test in South China, stated the firm. It manages a 7,000 square meter factory, with 1k class clean room (see picture below) with 20 SMT assembly lines (e-MMC and eSSD).
