history

Fujitsu Siemens Computers was created on October 1, 1999 through the merger of Fujitsu Computers Europe and Siemens Computer Systems, the successor company of Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme (SNI). FSC was a joint venture between the two parent companies Fujitsu and Siemens , each with a 50 percent stake, whereby Fujitsu itself emerged from an earlier Siemens joint venture, as the syllable ji for Si emens alludes to. Siemens publicly announced on November 4, 2008 that it would sell its shares to Fujitsu by April 1, 2009 for around 450 million euros. Since then, the company has only sold products worldwide under the brand name "Fujitsu".
