Control Universal was founded in 1978 when its first activity was as a sales outlet for Rockwell Microcomputers, a role which actively continues. Since then the business has extended into the sale of Acorn products, a wide range of peripherals such as visual display units and printers, and then into own manufacture of the CUBE range of Eurocard Computer Units, such as CUBIT, CUMEM and The Industrial Cube.
In addition, Control Universal have performed full range design and manufacture projects for clfents who have wished to use microcomputer technology in applications as diverse as Electronic Dart Scorers, Foreign Exchange Calculators and Pharmacist's Prescription Analyser and Label Printer. In some cases these projects have included every aspect of design from system concept, styling of the enclosure, mechanical production, circuit board layout, electronic manufacture and test.
In 1981 the Company moved from Harlow into much larger premises in Cambridge. In addition to appreciating Cambridge as one of the country's most attractive towns, the Directors recognised the advantage of being located close to both the advanced research taking place at the University and to other leading companies in the Microcomputer Industry, Acorn in particular.
The future is seen as holding exceptional opportunities for even more dramatic increases in activity, with particular emphasis on increasing the range of CUBE cards, on local area networks for the control of peripherals and input/output units, and upon industrial applications generally.
