About Us
Chartered over one hundred and twenty years ago by Central Director Merle Elliott Schultz, Designwerks has grown from modest beginnings to become the most successful collection of centrally-planned industrial enterprises in Gholgoth. From its origins as a government-sponsored regulatory trust for mining, shipbuilding, and metalworking, the State Industries of Schultaria Prime have grown phenomenally in size and complexity. Designwerks now represents the largest gathering of state-managed businesses in the United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime - if not the world - employing over 5.1 billion people in 6 million state-run or nationalized firms.
Initally, the aims of Designwerks were rooted in the desperate necessities of a state emerging from the ruins of war: generate hard currency while stemming a persistent exodus of manufacturing jobs from the fledgling USSSP by exporting heavy industrial equipment and raw materials to eager international consumers. From these beginnings, Designwerks has rapidly diversified into the cutting edges of science and engineering.
About Nume'kognaa
Sixty years ago, the Nume'kognaa (Numerical Cognition) Initiative was one of the most highly publicized research projects of the pre-Gothic Schultarian state. At the behest of the Central Scientific Collective, Department of Defense, Designwerks, and private semiconductor manufacturers, an annual budget of eighty-five million Merlons was set aside by the federal government to encourage research and development on more compact, powerful, and energy-efficient computing devices for national defense, census collection, telecommunications, and artificial intelligence. Fueled by government investment, state and private industries scrambled to build faster and better calculating machines for government and scientific use.
Because of the state's funding priorities, many private semiconductor firms eventually grew large enough to qualify for direct mergers with the State Industries of Schultaria Prime. As a result, the private sector aims of the Nume'kognaa Initiative were scaled back in favor of Designwerks Nume'kognaa - a public/private collaboration between electronics firms with less federal intervention. In the forty years since that collaboration, Designwerks has become the preeminent manufacturer of supercomputers, mainframes, and specialized electronic components within Gholgoth. With a forty percent market share of all server farms, data centers, and telecommunications hubs in the region, Schultarian computer manufacturers have established a well-deserved reputation for reliability, adaptability, and compatibility.

After several years of internal restructuring, Designwerks - a name that's been known and respected in Schultaria Prime and Gholgoth for over twelve decades, once again opens up its product lines to the world! To all nations, whether former customers or new clients, welcome!
Unlike many international storefronts, The State Industries of Schultaria Prime - Designwerks does not sell offensive military equipment for export. As one of the the oldest international storefronts to pioneer civilian technology, Designwerks follows the common ideal that national strength comes from creativity and industry, not from the force of arms.
