CORE International Inc., commonly referred to as Core, was a multinational computer and technology corporation headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida.

Core was founded in 1979 by Hal Prewitt as a technology firm to develop, market, and support computer-related products and services. It was known for supporting IBM's first business microcomputers, such as the 5100, 5110, and 5120. With the introduction of the IBM PC and PC AT, the company provided a line of disk drives, backup solutions, and personal computer products. Core remained a private company solely owned by Prewitt until 1993, when it was purchased by Aiwa, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony.
