 \section{Recore Systems}
-This section briefly describes Recore Systems and its activities.
+Recore Systems is a relatively young IT 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 to be 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 camps: 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.
