Nixdorf Computer AG
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nixdorf Computer AG was a computer company founded by Heinz Nixdorf in 1952[1]. With headquarters in Paderborn, Germany, it became the fourth largest computer company in Europe and a worldwide specialist in banking systems. Its main product was the 886x family of BNC or Banking Network Computer which ran a proprietary operating system. Other products included point of sale systems and private branch exchanges. In 1990, it was acquired by Siemens and renamed into Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme. After the splitoff of Siemens Nixdorf's Personal Computer products to Fujitsu-Siemens, the present day company Wincor Nixdorf is its closest incarnation.
