Different companies built computers using the Univac trademark over time:

  1. Eckert Mauchley Computer Company (EMCC) began building them but ran out of funds before they could deliver any.
  2. Remington Rand bought EMCC in 1950 just before EMCC went bankrupt and finished and sold them initially.
  3. Sperry Rand after Sperry Corporation and Remington Rand merged in 1955.
  4. Sperry Univac after Sperry Rand changed its name in 1978 when they decided to specialize in computers and sold unrelated divisions.
  5. Unisys after Sperry Univac and Burroughs Corporation merged in 1986.
