KOWLOON, HONG KONG, Nov. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ACL Semiconductors, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ACLO - News), one of Asia's largest distributors of memory chip products, today announced that net sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009, increased 44 percent to $74 million and net sales for the first nine months of 2009 increased 40 percent to $209 million, from $150 million in the same period in 2008.
