[http://www.amstrad.com Amstrad PLC] was founded by Sir [[Alan M. Sugar]] in 1968.
After meeting with quite some success in selling cheap audio equipment (namely, the first all-in-one stereo systems we all use today), Amstrad (which stands for '''A'''lan '''M''' '''S'''ugar '''TRAD'''ing) skyrocketed to the top of British computer manufacturers when it launched the CPC [[464]] in 19851984. Further releases in the CPC series, as well as the [[PCW]] series brough in tremendous amounts of cash and lots of fame for its founder and CEO. The [[Amstrad PC]] series, although initially another big success, were to be its ultimate demise since Amstrad did not have the strong selling points needed in a clone-infested market.
Nowadays Amstrad is selling, with very modest success, the Em@iler telephones, satelite equipment and various other things - some of which are just own-branded OEM electronics.
