EscomĀ  was a German chain of computer stores, with locations in the Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom. Escom also grew rapidly in the early 1990s by taking over existing chains. Branches were established in all major cities in the Netherlands. The rapid growth played tricks on Escom. There was poor management and negative brand awareness arose because the service left something to be desired. In 1995, the listed company suffered a loss of 185 million German marks. The chain was declared bankrupt on July 15, 1996, due to the lack of rescue efforts. However, a temporary restart was made under the name Escom 2001.

In the spring of 1995, Escom paid $14 million for the acquisition of the assets of the bankrupt Commodore International, known for the Commodore 64 and Amiga computers. Escom was mainly looking for the Commodore brand name. The sale of computer systems under that brand name was immediately started. A separate division was set up for Amiga-related articles.

After Escom's bankruptcy, the Commodore brand was taken over by TulipĀ  and the Amiga brand by Gateway.
