Das ganze im Thread: Wer ist der Hersteller.... glaub ich...

Television design
With many years experience in designing televisions Eldon continues to support TV manufacturers with their designs.

CONTINENTAL EDISON

Eldon Technology was commissioned by French brown goods company Continental Edison to design a large screen analogue television with the goal of making it the most competitive product in the market place. It is a high end, yet cost effective, Dolby Pro Logic pan-European television receiver designed to drive 25" or 28" colour picture tubes. The specification includes three AV connections, frequency synthesis or voltage synthesis tuning, NICAM or Zweiton stereo audio decoding, up to 35W total audio output power, Colour Transient Improvement (CTI) and 10 page TOP and FLOF teletext. The chassis concept is a single main board incorporating a snap out tube base PCB. Manufactured at Continental Edison`s 4000,000 sq ft factory, the biggest TV plant in Europe with an output capacity of some 7,000 colour sets per day, the new television is ready to make its mark in the market, and who knows? it may also be named as one of Which? magazines`s star performers, as were several of its Eldon designed predecessors.

IT Europa: Local assemblers still strong
by Mary Lisbeth D`Amico, IDG News ServiceMunich Bureau
July 16, 1999, 08:22


MUNICH (07/16/99) - U.S. vendors have made big gains in Europe`s PC arena, but regional and local companies still have a large share of the market, according to a recent report by market-research company IT Europa.

The IT Europa report, "PC Assemblers in Europe: The Top 400," covers the top players in 38 countries, and provides revenues and unit sales for 400 companies. The report, published annually, costs 675 pounds (US$1,058).

An assembler is a company that puts together computer components and then sells the finished product to a reseller. Most PC companies act as both manufacturers and assemblers.

U.S. vendors Compaq Computer Corp., IBM Corp. and Dell Computer Corp were the three largest assemblers in Europe in 1998, IT Europa said, followed by Hewlett Packard Corp., Siemens AG and Fujitsu Ltd. In spite of that, roughly 47 percent of Europe`s PC market is controlled by regional and local assemblers, the report said.

Multinational vendors have made better progress in Northern Europe than elsewhere in Europe, according to Mark Russell, the report`s author. In Eastern Europe, U.S. vendors are going against assemblers using cheap, smuggled components from Asia, Russell said. "IBM and Compaq can`t compete with that," Russell said.

In Southern Europe, consumers` buying habits are still very much focused on "mom-and-pop" assemblers, Russell said. That includes regional players such as Italian assembler Olidata Spa and Solbi in Portugal.

Growing domestic markets are creating a need for what IT Europa calls "a new breed of assembler." These companies sell large volumes of PCs to discount retail chains such as Dixons Group PLC in the U.K., Carrefour in France or Mediamarkt in Germany. Three such assemblers are Continental Edison, PC Science and Medion.

IT Europa, (formerly called PC Europa) in Colchester, the U.K., can be reached here.

PRIVATE SECTOR BUY-IN
It appears that the private sector is beginning to buy into this plan—after all, what company wants to risk a cyberattack if Uncle Sam can help stop it? Hundreds of industry participants, including those from BellSouth, Cisco, Continental Edison, Microsoft and others, flocked to a February White House retreat on infrastructure protection. They also formed the Partnership for Critical Infrastructure Security to share information with the Commerce Department about potential vulnerabilities and advanced R&D work in information security and to develop best practices to span the critical infrastructure sectors.

Es gibt einige Vereine, die haben 2 Hauptsponsoren. Der AS Monaco, zum Beispiel trägt bei Heimspielen den Namen "Cofidur" auf dem Trikot, während es bei Auswärtsspielen die Firma "Eurest" ist. In Strasbourg löste man dieses Problem anders: Hier wird nach Halbzeiten unterschieden. In den ersten 45 Minuten kämpfen sie für einen Mineralwasser-Produzenten, danach werden Wärmekörper (=>Heizungen) beworben.

@cherub:
@SunSeeker: danke für die Links!

[salinger]

hallo,

zugegeben - ich bin ein wenig enttäuscht, da ich mir einen großen namen vorgstellt habe, mit welchem die met@box-ag sich nun brüsten könnte.
graetz - als kind eines fernsehfachhändlers kann ich sehrwohl etwas mit diesem namen anfangen und bin demnach nicht gerade pessimistisch, was die publikumsakzeptanz anbelangt.
aber wichtiger als der firmenname ist doch wohl die tatsache, dass comntinental-edison, das flagschiff der confidur-gruppe mit met@box ZUSAMMENARBEITET. die kreise schliessen sich... war worldsat nicht ebenfalls ein französicher anbieter ? sind auf der homepage von confidur nicht auch KASSENSYSTEME abgebildet... handelt die met@box-ag nicht ebenfalls mit solchen produkten ?
etc.
aber wie gesagt, met@box benötigt unbedingt die referenzen eines big-players, damit auch noch der letzte zweifler umgestimmt werden kann.

zweifler wie bernecker nehme ich jedoch nicht ernst, obwohl es mir offengestanden schon ein wenig wehtut dieses hier zu veröffentlichen, da ich in vielen dingen bisher mit den aussagen dieses wirklich hervorragenden spekulantens übereingestimmt habe und ihn auch durch persönliche gepräche schätzenlernte.
seine met@boxaussagen sollte er in der dargebrachten form jedoch noch einmal überdenken, da man den vorstand nun wirklich keine irreführenden ad-hoc´s vorwerfen kann. loi und rahmenvertrag wurden stets beim namen genannt ...etc.
die nichtnennung der auftraggeber ist zwar störend und schade, jedoch noch lange kein grund dem ceo kriminelle machenschaften zu unterstellen.
ich bin mal auf die äusserungen gespannt, wenn die konsortiummitglieder und der erste auftraggeber beim namen genannt werden.

die aktie bleibt spannend und wird sicher noch für viel gespächsstoff sorgen, wobei ich mir sicher bin, dass dieser positiv sein wird.

gruß - sali.

Das mit dem AS Monaco ist wohl nicht mehr ganz aktuell
Der derzeitige Sponsor nennt sich FEDCOM vizzavi oder so ähnlich.

S.Domeyer hat gerade im CEO-Thread geschrieben: "Sie (Continental Edison) haben die Fertigungskompetenz für die von Amstrad vertriebenen Produktlinien."

Das sieht meiner Ansicht nach so aus: Amstrad besitzt die Marke GRAETZ.

Gebaut werden die Geräte aber von Continental Edison.

Das scheint also dann doch die angekündigte Zusammenarbeit mit einem großen Fernseh-Hersteller zu sein. Vorteil daran: Continental baut bereits Fernseher, die müssen also nicht von Grund auf neu entwickelt, sondern nur angepaßt (z.B. mit Met@box-Einbau) werden.

Klingt doch gut?

02.20.2000 - 1999 Earnings: Objective met, 1,340 Billion Francs. A better than expected second half, the predicted recovery takes shape.


The COFIDUR Group`s earnings were fixed for the fourth quarter of 1999 at 439 million francs, thus achieving the best quarter of the year, with an increase of 4% compared with the same period last year.

For 1999, the group`s earnings were 1,340 billion francs, in line with the objectives set. Compared with 1998, consolidated business fell by 13%. However, between 1998 and 1999, two important events influenced these earnings. First of all there was the sale of the subgroup, GESPAC which represented 75 million francs in earnings. The second event was the end of the PMU contract which had earned 150 million francs in 1998. Thus 225 million, fully identified francs affected our earnings total. Because of this our 1999 earnings show an increase of 2.45% over those for 1998 once corrected.


In its traditional sector, COFIDUR is developing its equipment supply sector, and its subcontracting, towards project management. After restructuring a major part of its production units this year, the group has developed in two main areas. On the one hand, by taking part in the early stages of projects for its traditional major customers, and on the other by winning new tenders to provide complete electronic products.

The installation of production capacity in neighboring countries with low labor costs is also increasing. COFIDUR can now offer its customers a competitive edge, when certain conditions have to be met, while rebuilding its profit margins through the industrial service rendered.

The consequence of this policy is that new customers have appeared and bigger projects, both in earnings, added value and service, as well as longer contractual times.

The COFIDUR Group`s "general public" activity, covered by its subsidiary CONTINENTAL EDISON, made a great deal of progress during the last quarter of 1999. It increased from 89 million francs in 1998 to 229 million francs in 1999. This strong progress can be explained by the remarkable success of the new activity, producing and marketing PCs under the CONTINENTAL EDISON trademark.

CONTINENTAL EDISON PCs are recognized by the professionals in this market as being of very high quality (very low rate of return). The choice and marketing of models has performed particularly well due to the new sales force set up for the purpose. The well-known reputation of Continental Edison is the key to this success. Remember that most of the PCs sold were medium and top of the range products and the number and variety of shops selling our products has considerably expanded (in quantity and quality).



The basic information for this second half of the year is the return to group profitability, accounts being balanced with a loss of nearly 25 million francs* for the tax year, with a first half result for 1999 of — 29 million francs.

The COFIDUR Group in 2000 is strongly oriented towards "Electronic Products" of all kinds.

First of all, by marketing its own products under its Continental Edison trademark.
This is demonstrated with the top of the range PCs and televisions.

Then, building on our experience and our success, by expanding our offer to other products with partners, for whom we provide our trademark and market access.
Extended range of televisions, various set top boxes, telecommunication products…etc, 2000 should see a strong evolution of new products and services.

Global subcontract services, moving towards the production of complete electronic products and services for our customers.
It is in this field that the growth of the subcontract market is predicted to be the most sustained during the coming years, and we have been prepared for a long time.

Finally, the COFIDUR Group is being sought to provide industrial support for companies in rapidly expanding sectors such as the Internet, for example, and can also play an active part by participating financially in the development of these companies, gaining extra profits if they are successful.

In this context, COFIDUR, as a RIGHT VISION reference industry has a holding in the first European start-up company specializing in Internet appliances and aiming to achieve 400 MF in earnings in 2002. This policy was implemented several years ago, with COFIDUR`s 35% holding in PMC (PMU contract).

On these bases and depending on the economic situation as known at present, both for the group`s traditional sectors and the general public sector, 2000 should be a year of strong growth with consolidated earnings close to 2 billion francs, with a return to certain financial profitability.

The group has emerged from a difficult period in its history, and things are not yet perfect, but the clouds are definitely lifting!
