[edit] Rebranding activities
Robotron printers were sold in Western Germany as "Sömtron" or "Präsident", and the West German branch of Commodore used some Robotron parts for their printers.
In Eastern Germany the Epson printers were sold under Robotron brand (but the technical description on the back side was with the "Epson" logo).
Just before German Reunification, on 23 August 1990 the Robotron database software company was split off.
