'''ORION Electric Co,. Ltd.'''is japanese company, founded 1958 by Shigemasa Otake. In [[LK-selectable Brand Names#Interview|the interview]], Cliff Lawson has confirmed that Amstrad planned to export CPCs to "far east", using [[Orion]] as a partner.
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).
 
The confusing part here is that there is also another company, '''Orion Electronics Ltd''', established in 1913 in Hungary. Using exactly the same ORION logo than the later japanese company from 1958.
