It was formed through a merger of International Computers and Tabulators( ICT), English Electric Leo Marconi( EELM) and Elliott Automation in 1968.
The company's most successful product line was the ICL 2900 Series range of mainframe computers.
In later years, ICL attempted to diversify its product line but the bulk of its profits always depended on the mainframe customer base.
New ventures included marketing a range of powerful IBM clones made by Fujitsu, various minicomputer and personal computer ranges and( more successfully) a range of retail point- of- sale equipment and back- office software.
Despite significant sales in overseas markets, ICL's mainframe base was dominated by large contracts from the UK public sector.
Significant customers included Post Office Ltd, the Inland Revenue, the Department for Work and Pensions and the Ministry of Defence.
ICL also had a strong market share with UK local authorities and( at that time) nationalized utilities including the water, electricity, and gas boards.
Until the 1970s launch of the ICL 2900 Series, the UK government had a single- tender preferential purchase agreement wherever ICL could meet the requirements.
The company was eventually acquired by Fujitsu, and in April 2002 it was rebranded as Fujitsu.
The ICL brand is still used by the former Russian division of the company.
