== History ==
Atawhai Taumata, Basiloy Modvenovich, Darryl McKinsey and Casey Burnham were PhD candidates at the [[University of Tokapa]] in 1970. They were working on a research project on semiconductor substrates under the supervision of Prof Leigh Cameron from [[Kuthernburg]]. Through their experiments and findings they published their dissertation in 1975. They made discoveries about the conductive and insulating capabilities of crystalline silicon and proposed applications their use in integrated circuits for computational devices.
Atawhai Taumata's uncle High Chief Taumata of Wekatoka encouraged the team to continue working on the project. He provided the initial seed funding for the project. They continued working on it until they developed their first working prototype integrated circuit in 1979. They pitched the idea to numerous investors and eventually, High Chief Taumata managed to get the Oan Armaments Company (now known as [[Oan Arms]]) to invest in the idea. After working for another 6 years, Metatron was born in 1985. They began as a contractor for the [[Oan Defence Forces]] producing chips for military applications.
Upon hearing that Oan Arms was selling the technology to other militaries that were committing war elsewhere, Basiloy Modvenovich was deeply distressed and asked the co-founders to end their relationship with the ODF. Atawhai Taumata asked his uncle to buy Modvenovich out, giving him the controlling share of the company. Basiloy walked out in 1988. Casey Burnham was constantly at odds with Darryl and Atawhai over development.
She left as the Chief Technology Officer in 1994, a position that Atawhai took up. Darryl bought her out. He continued as the CEO of the company. Atawhai inherited his uncle's title and had to dedicate more of his time managing the Taumata Family Trust, thus he resigned as the CTO and remained as Chairman of the board. Rudo Seabrook from [[South Hills]] continued as CTO. Darryl made some disastrous financial decisions and he divorced his husband, who left the marriage with half of everything he owned. He was bankrupt and thus sold his share to Atawhai who took over the entire Metatron Corporation in 2004. To escape the tax reforms in the Oan Isles being implemented around 2006, the Metatron Holding Company was established in [[Tivot]] in the same year.
Bing Sion came on as the Chief Operations Officer in 2008. He pushed for the acquisition of Barque Lithography in the same year getting closer to Darryl. Rudo and Bing kept competing for Darryl's favour because they knew that Atawhai would support Darryl's choice Of CEO when he eventually resigned. Bing successfully negotiated the acquisition of Fort Jubrayn Optics in 2012, sealing the deal for his succession as CEO. Darryl stayed on as CEO to coordinate the initial public offering of Metatron on the [[Sani Bursil]] Stock Exchange. They raised 1.34 billion [[Kirib|KRB]] from the deal. Bing took on more of Darryl's duties until he was appointed CEO in 2016.
== Services and products ==
Metatron produces integrated circuits for fabless companies. This means that it produces integrated circuits based on the design specifications of its clients. Furthermore, it produces generic integrated circuits for general purpose usage. Additionally, it produces semiconductor wafers that other companies use to produce integrated circuits of their own.
== Leadership ==
Bing Sion, the incumbent CEO, is a transgender man from Emberwood Coast who studied at the University of Aura. He was appointed as the CEO in 2018 after the resignation of the previous CEO, Darryl McKinsey. He had worked under McKinsey as the COO for 12 years. He is an experienced and highly skilled engineer and entrepreneur who has several noteworthy publications and has received numerous accolades from various international bodies. Kawatu Taumata is the granddaughter of Atawhai Taumata and she represents the interests of the Taumata Family Trust which is the majority owner of the Metatron Holding Company.
