ORION is japanese company, founded 1958 by Shigemasa Otake. In an interview, Alan Sugar Cliff Lawson has confirmed that Amstrad planned to export CPCs to "far east", using [[Orion]] as a partner. As with some other brand names, Amstrad 'converted' the upper-case "ORION" to "Orion" in the boot message.
As far as known, the partnership didn't worked in that direction - there have been no CPCs sold using the Orion brand. However, it worked the opposite way around: Amstrads [[CTM640/CTM644]] and [[GT64/GT65]] monitors contain cathode ray tubes from ORION. Some webpages also mention that the CPC computer itself was manufactured by Orion (in Korea).
