Lexar was founded to be format-agnostic. It manufactures two types of cards: CompactFlash cards and Memory Stick cards under license from Sony. It doesn't own its own factory but has its cards manufactured under contract by Taiwan's United Microelectronics. Other formats it resells under its own brand name, including Toshiba's Secure Digital card and the new xD Picture card produced by Olympus, another Lexar investor.
