Syntrex Inc. was a public American computer systems company active from 1979 to 1992. The company had its heyday in the 1980s, when it was one of the largest manufacturers of word processing and data processing systems. Olivetti S.p.A., a major office equipment manufacturer based in Italy, was an early and important investor in Syntrex. Following a steady decline in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the company liquidated its assets after going bankrupt in 1992.
