Unibrain - The 1394 Innovators<br />

About Unibrain<br />

Unibrain (Reuters: UNBr.AT) is a global leader in the development of FireWire (IEEE-1394)<br />

hardware and software solutions, and offers a complete line of FireWire products for a wide<br />

range of applications. Unibrain has been an active member of the 1394 Trade Association since<br />

1997 and continues to play a vital role in the advancement of FireWire technology. Moreover,<br />

the last few years Unibrain expanded to new developments in storage and multimedia technologies.<br />

Unibrain S.A. was founded in 1986 in Athens and in 2000 it established Unibrain Inc. in San<br />

Ramon, California, USA to promote, sell and support its customers in the United States. At the<br />

same year, Unibrain entered into a strategic alliance with Intracom S.A. the largest Greek new<br />

technologies company with domestic and international activity. Unibrain is a public company<br />

traded in the New Market (NEXA) of the Athens Stock Exchange from April 30th, 2001.<br />

Unibrain uses the OEM model to promote integrated solutions of hardware and software to the<br />

market. According to this strategy, Unibrain is responsible for the design folder (hardware, software<br />

and know-how) which is adapted to the requirements of the final customer. Each customer<br />

can promote its own product to the global market and Unibrain earns from the license.<br />

Unibrain has signed significant cooperation agreements with big enterprises, like Packard Bell,<br />

Logitech, MacPower, Iomega and Gtech. The production of the final product is assigned to big<br />

Asian manufacturing companies, such as MacPower and Xingtel. Unibrain chooses this strategy<br />

to promote its business, leaving the retail to other big companies with strong brand names.<br />

Unibrain also sells software license to big companies like Texas Instruments, Philips, Rockwell<br />

Collins, Xerox, Siemens.<br />
