Castle and Tematic Merge to Create Multi-faceted RISC OS Company
Mike Williams
and Tematic merged in the fourth quarter of 2003. The combined business
will trade under the Castle Technology Ltd name with a new "Tematic
Division", focused on offering full design and engineering resources to
customers wishing to licence RISC OS for use in their new products.
Jack Lillingston, CEO (Chief Executive Officer) for Castle said, "The
combination of Tematic's engineering skills and Castle's marketing and
product skills means that we have a company structure that can really
tackle the opportunities that lie ahead".
In a separate move Castle also announce that they have appointed Peter
Wild as director and COO (Chief Operation Officer). Peter Wild said, "It
is great to be back in the RISC OS world. We hope to clinch substantial
licence deals with a variety of household names over the coming months.
Things have never looked more promising for RISC OS".
The Tematic Division will continue to be based in Cambridge and will
develop and support an embedded version of RISC OS which has been
designed for use in the new generation of smart multimedia products for
the high volume consumer electronics market.
Castle will continue producing the Acorn and IYONIX pc range of
computers. John Ballance CTO (Chief Technical Officer) for Castle said
that "This strengthens the product side of Castle's business and gives
us a clear path to develop and enhanced products for the future".
