The origins of the company can be traced back to the merger of the PC-divisions of the Finnish
Nokia and the Swedish
Ericsson in the mid
1980s . In
1991 Nokia Data was sold to the British
International Computers Ltd (ICL). Later ICL merged with Fujitsu.
Ericsson PCs were known in the 1980s for their
Ergonomic s and bright colours.
The Nokia line of compact desktop computers continued to be produced at the Kilo factories in
Espoo, Finland . Components, including
Motherboard s and
Ethernet Network Adapter s were manufactured locally, until production was moved to
Taiwan . Internationally the MikroMikko line was marketed by Fujitsu as the '''ErgoPro'''.
The
German half of the company,
Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme , was the result of the merger of
Nixdorf Computer with
Siemens .
