KEMP Technologies, Inc. was founded in 2000 in Bethpage, New York and operates in the application delivery controller industry.[2] The company creates load balancing products which balance user traffic between multiple servers in an organization, business or managed service provider’s infrastructure.

In 2010, KEMP opened a European headquarters in Limerick, Ireland.[3] Edison Ventures, Kennet Partners and ORIX Venture Finance invested $16 million into the company for research and development, sales and marketing in early 2012.[4]

In April 2014, KEMP announced a further investment in its Limerick Operations to expand from 30[5] positions to 80.
