Tulip Computers
Encyclopedia
Tulip Computers NV was a Dutch
computer manufacturer that manufactured PC clones. It was founded in 1979, and listed on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange
in 1984.
Tulip made headlines among Commodore
computer enthusiasts when it acquired the Commodore brand name in September 1997, and made headlines again in 2003 and 2004 when it tried to grab a share of the games and entertainment markets with Commodore-branded products. After supposedly making some headway in the market, it sold the Commodore name to Yeahronimo Media Ventures for €22 million. Negotiations began in late 2004; the transaction was completed in March 2005.
On 27 September 2007 Tulip announced it wanted to buy back the Commodore for 1 dollar per share. Tulip thinks it can make more profit by buying back Commodore, because of the new activities of Commodore on other markets.
Tulip sponsored Crystal Palace Football Club between 1991 and 1993 and eponymous professional cycling teams based in Spain (1989–1990) and Belgium (1990–1992).
On 26 June 2008, Tulip changed its name to Nedfield NV.
Nedfield faced serious problems due to the Late-2000s recession, and filed for suspension of payment after several of its daughter companies went bankrupt. Nedfield NV itself was pronounced bankrupt by the district court of Utrecht
on 3 September 2009.
