Premier Farnell of England pays e7 million (US$9 million) for both the German-based CadSoft Computer GmbH and the US-based CadSoft Computer Inc. The 20-year-old CadSoft has sold its EAGLE software (PCB design, schematic capture, board layout, and autorouter) to 40,000 engineers.
(This sale has nothing to do with that other CadSoft that sells Envisioneer software for architects and contractors, and is located in Canada.)
Premier Farnell sells 400,000 electronic products and distributes another 4 million through its Farnell, Newark, CPC, Premier Electronics, MCM, Akron Brass, and TPC Wire & Cable divisions. So, what does it want of CadSoft Computer? It finally gives Premier Farnell electronic design software.
The co-owners of the German CadSoft Computer could make another e5 million should certain criteria be met following the sale.
