Gulipin brand comes from 1985 when a company Soft-Tronik Creative Computer Technology was established in West Berlin. It dealt with a large number of issues connected with modern information technology.

For a long time the company operated in a remote way from its office in Berlin in a few European markets. Its Polish branches were founded in Wroclaw, Warsaw, Gdansk, Gliwice and Krakow in the years 1991 and 1993. Simultaneously, the representative offices of the company were formed in Austria, Czech, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Romania and the USSR. From the very beginning Soft-Tronik was a partner to such corporations as IBM, Compaq, 3Com, Informix, SCO, Cisco Systems, OKI, APC, WYSE, Lexmark, Microsoft, Novell and Xerox.

Apart from distribution business operations, it was also engaged in producing PC computers. The first Gulipin-branded computers were made in the years 1990 and 1991 and were assembled in co-operation with a Wroclaw company Elwro. A vast majority of the then production was distributed through the representative offices of the company in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Tbilisi and Kiev to the markets in the former USSR.

On October 1st, 1993r Gulipin Sp. z o.o. separated from its parent company Soft-Tronik.
In February the head office of Soft-Tronik was moved to Wroclaw.

Gulipin was selected by Packard Bell to co-operate in scope of Packard Bell's computer assembly and sales in Poland. The first computers left Gulipin's production line on
March 1st, 1996.

In November 1997 Gulipin Sp. z o.o. and Soft-Tronik as well as a few companies re-joined to establish a holding Soft-Tronik Polska Sp. z o.o. It carried on quite large-scale business operations, and it continued to produce Gulipin's computers sold through distribution channels. The distributors offered them on the final user market, and often won the big and prestigious tenders.

It was the moment when a large number of unique and innovative technological
solutions were designed, which distinguished Gulipin's computers at the background
of the competition. As one of the first companies it produced the PC computers based
on multi-processor main boards, redundant power supplies and automatic panels controlling computer performance parameters.

Thanks to a top quality and reliability, Gulipin's computers were well recognised.
Up till now the old 486 machines with Gulipin's logo have been working
in some offices although they are sometimes covered with dust.

As a result of the wrong policy, the STGroup holding went into trouble and at the end of 2001 it declared its bankruptcy. Since then the production of Gulipin's computers has been suspended.

A large number of distributors who bought Gulipin's computers could hardly accept this fact that from day to day one of the better-sold brands disappeared from the market.

Netspace, the Warsaw-based integrator and leading distributor of Gulipin's computers, has decided to bring this legendary brand back to life. It agreed with STGroup
(in bankruptcy) to form Gulipin Sp. z o.o., which has succeeded in restarting the production of Gulipin's computers.
