      OWC will celebrate its 30-year anniversary in 2018, a milestone that is rare for a privately-held technology company. O’Connor started the company while still in school, only four years after the launch of the original Macintosh. He honed his focus when he realized he could help other Mac users make their machines better and faster and last longer by offering processor, storage and memory products so they could do their own upgrades.

      OWC employs more than 200 people at locations across North America. For more information, go here.
