They produced pinball machines between 1972 and 1986.[1] First, they imported American pinball machines during the sixties and seventies and later decided to make their own. Their most successful pinball machines were produced under the brand name SONIC. In 1973, the company moved to new, larger facilities located in Parla, becoming registered as Sega.S.A Sonic, although commercially it continues to use the name Segasa.[2]
