Metrologie International SA’s Madrid-based subsidiary, Metrologia Iberica, distributes only Intel Corp’s products, but, taking a leaf out of Amstrad Plc’s book, will now sell them under its own name rather than Intel’s. The company has supplied Intel products to European customers since 1988, and will continue to sell the same range as before. The only change is that Metrologia will now market them as MI486 boxes, based on Intel technology. The first product to be sold under the new brand-name is the X-Press MI486, a desktop or tower system with a 80486 processor. This can be upgraded to the Pentium chip when it becomes available in the second quarter this year.
