Amstrad

Amstrad is a British technology company founded in 1968 by Alan Sugar. It became well-known in the 1980s for producing affordable personal computers and audio equipment, such as the Amstrad CPC computer line and the CM series all-in-one stereo systems. The company's products were popular for their innovative design and value, making technology more accessible to consumers. In 2007, Amstrad was acquired by the Medical Group International and later integrated into other business ventures, but it remains recognized for its role in early personal computing and consumer electronics.
