Investor Information
LaCie designs and manufactures storage devices and peripherals to complement or extend existing central units, workstations and servers. Our products are aimed at professionals and businesses, especially multimedia professionals (digital content creators). Most of LaCie's sales are through specialist computer distributors (VAR, mail order, websites, etc.) but you can also buy LaCie products at your favorite retail stores.
LaCie's competitive advantage stems from our in-house approach to R&D and design. The design of most product components (power supply units, cases, electronic components, control software, interface boards, etc.) is done in-house in order to optimize product performance. Furthermore, LaCie products boast a unique look - the fruit of 20 years of design research. This creates instant, visible differentiation on the market.
