The Hira Company Ltd (incorporating Texet Sales Ltd) is a family-owned UK company based in Manchester, England[1] specialising in the import and distribution of consumables.[2]
Their subsidiary Texet was founded in the 1970s[3] and focuses on calculators and electronic gadgets. It was partly responsible for driving Sinclair out of the pocket calculator market,[4] often with devices manufactured in Far Eastern countries such as Hong Kong and South Korea.[5] In 1983, the original Texet business went into receivership, and its assets and name were acquired by Hira Ltd.[6]
The company still sells calculators and similar devices under the Texet name and- as of 2006[update]- claimed to have 26% of the UK calculator market.[7]
