http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixdorf_Computer



Nixdorf Computer AG was a computer company founded by Heinz Nixdorf in 1952.[1] Headquartered in Paderborn, Germany, it became the fourth largest computer company in Europe, and a worldwide specialist in banking and point-of-sale systems. Its main products were the 886x family of BNC, or Branch Network Computers, which ran a proprietary operating system (called DIPOS), the 8870 mini computer for business which ran a comprehensive business application software suite (called COMET written in a dialect of BASIC) and the 8812 Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) terminal; over 200,000 of these systems were sold worldwide in the late 1970s and 1980s. Other products included private branch exchanges. In 1990, Nixdorf was acquired by Siemens and renamed Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme. After the splitoff of Siemens Nixdorf's Personal Computer products to Fujitsu Siemens Computers, the present day company Wincor Nixdorf is its closest incarnation.



Represented as Wincor Nixdorf in about 100 countries

With the carve-out from the Siemens Group and the acquisition by venture capitalists Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, Wincor Nixdorf has presented itself since October 1, 1999 as an independent company with global reach. Today, the company has its own subsidiaries in 41 countries and is represented by partners in more than 60 countries
