'''Triumph Internation Underwear''' is possibly the most popular company that uses Triumph as brand name. Though it is rather doubtworthy that Amstrad seriously planned this partnership.

There has been a historic '''typewriter manufacturer''' named Triumph, concerning the CPCs typewriter keyboard, this could have been a reasonable partnership - but that company fusioned with Adler long time ago, so for that partnership, the boot message should have been ''Triumph-Adler 64K Microcompter''. Actually, the typewriter relation isn't too unlikely. The brand name ''TA Triumph-Adler'' (TA) has been used to produce various '''computer hardware ''' from 1971 up to today, spanning a range of electronic typewriters, alphatronic computersAlphatronic PCs, and modern laser printers. More info on the company history is found on their webpage http://www.triumph-adler.de/ (german)
Note: According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_(TWN), the bicycle/motorcycle companies originally had the same source than the computer/typerwriter business.

There is also an Triumph Electronics company in USA, though according to their About Us page, ''Triumph Electronics incorporated in 2007'' (thus it can't ''cannot''' have anything to do with the CPC), interstingly, they say ''We stand out from the crowd by our professionalism'' (though as by 2010, the About Us page still doesn't work yet with Opera, nor mainstream browsers like Firefox or Internet Explorer).
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph for more possible meanings.
