    There is only one American memory company: Micron. Sk Hynix and Samsung are South Korean.

    Everyone else who sells memory modules in the west gets the actual memory chips from one of those three companies. Beyond that there is only one company that makes the waifers that the chips are made from and I think its Dutch. Definitely European.

      I think the wafer is dominated by the Japanese. The Dutch company you are thinking of is ASML and they manufacture 90% of the precision machines that manufacture chips in the world.
