Wednesday, May 15, is a remarkable date in the history
of computer consumer products.
After the failure of ESCOM to revitalize the AMIGA, under the lead of former AMIGA-President Stefan Domeyer a brand new company was founded:
PIOS Computer AG
The shareholders explained their commitment to enter that riscy market and to create a successor for the AMIGA community. Dr. Klaus F. Bröker, an international well respected business lawyer, was elected as the Chairman of the Supervisory Board. After the first meeting of the Supervisory Board, Dr. Bröker stated:
" This was the start of a new company, but if you add the experience and backround of all founders, PIOS will show it´s will to succeed very soon. We decided to enter the North American Market already in the initial phase. Together with our partners, Mr. Dave Haynie and Mr. Andy Finkel, we will found PIOS U.S. Incorporated within the next four weeks."
The President and CEO, Mr. Stefan Domeyer, explained the goals of PIOS:
I know exactly the reasons we failed with AMIGA. The only chance to keep it alive is a new start, without some burdens due to the history. I think, the key to success is simply to exceed our customers expectations on performance, quality and price. We must do it as fast, but as good as possible. So, we will form some strategic alliances with companies who have shown their capabilites in design." One of the initial shareholders is Mr. John Smith, who will leave AMIGA Technologies to build the UK operation of PIOS for Great Britain and all affiliated markets. John Smith said:" I want a new generation of Power PC´s, and I want to make it successful in UK!"
