Encyclopedia > Groupe Bull

Groupe Bull (also known as Bull Computer or, informally, as Bull) is a French computer company based in Paris. It was founded in 1931, as H. W. Egli - Bull, to capitalize on the punched card technology patents of Norwegian engineer Fredrik Rosing Bull (1882–1925). After a reorganization in 1933, with new owners coming in, the name was changed to Compagnie des Machines Bull.


The company has undergone many takeovers and mergers since its formation. Groupe Bull was nationalised in 1982 and was merged with most of the rest of the French computer industry. In 1994 the company was re-privatised.
