Schneider Computer Division, a division of the Schneider Rundfunkwerke from Türkheim (Germany) exclusively distributed the [[CPC_old_generation|Amstrad CPC]] 464, 664 and 6128 on the german market under their own brand name Schneider.
Until 1987 Schneider Computer Division also distributed the Amstrad PCW8256 (also known as Joyce), PCW8125 (Joyce Plus), PC1512 and PC1640. At the end of 1987 Schneider had distanced itself from Amstrad due to differences in dealership policies. So they started from 1988 an own production of computers, they built the EuroPC and EuroPCII (two very compact PC units on the same computer-in-a-keyboard format like the CPC6128), EuroXT, EuroAT and TowerAT, which were even 'Made in Germany'.
Until today you can buy computers with the brand name 'Schneider' on them, though the company has ceased a long time ago and 'Schneider' is just a brand name for Fujitsu-Siemens computers.
