Amstrad

Amstrad is an electronics company founded in 1968 by Sir Alan Michael Sugar in the United Kingdom, and based in Brentwood in Essex, England. The name is a contraction of Alan Michael Sugar Trading.

During the 1980s Amstrad began marketing their own personal computers to capture the market from Commodore and Sinclair, with the Amstrad CPC 464. In the 1990s Amstrad focused more on portable computers, and attempted to enter the gaming market. In the mid-1990s Amstrad began to market communication devices.
