 \section{Recore Systems}
-This section briefly describes Recore Systems and its activities.
+Recore Systems is a relatively young semiconductor company based in Enschede,
+the Netherlands. It emerged as the result of research at the University of
+Twente and focuses on developing hardware IP blocks for use in semiconductor
+devices.  The main product of Recore is the Montium Tile Processor, a low
+energy, high performance reconfigurable processor aimed at low-power DSP
+applications.  The Montium will be discussed in more detail in the next section.
+
+Recore aims to provide a full solution for semiconductor manufactures and their
+customers, by providing IP blocks such as the Montium, tools for working with
+them such as a compiler, an IDE and simulation environments and sample programs
+and DSP libraries to ease application development. Currently, all of these
+components are still in a development stage, but already used internally and by
+the University of Twente.
+
+The activities of Recore and the employees working on them are roughly divisible
+into three disciplines: Hardware design, tooling development and DSP
+engineering. This distinction is not a very strict or physical one: most work is
+the result of a coordinated effort.
