Portacoco: Reviving Retro, Reinventing the Future

In the ever-evolving world of technology, nostalgia and innovation rarely share the same stage. At Portacoco, we prove that the past and future can coexist—bringing vintage computing into the modern era with precision, authenticity, and cutting-edge design.
Founded by Mark Pacan, Portacoco emerged from a passion for classic computing and a commitment to pushing boundaries. After years in the corporate world, Mark stepped away in mid-2024 to dedicate himself to something more personal: a vision for retro-tech refinement, where beloved designs of the past are reborn with modern functionality.

Through Portacoco, Mark has spearheaded the development of Retro Portability—combining technical expertise with a deep appreciation for vintage computing.

His products are designed to integrate seamlessly into retro computers without permanently altering their physical state, ensuring that if ever removed, the original hardware remains completely intact.

With a background in Consumer Insight, Product Development, Information Technology, Marketing, and Corporate Strategy, he has crafted each product with the same meticulous attention that made early computing so timeless—redefined for today’s users.

Portacoco isn’t just a brand; it’s a testament to preservation, innovation, and expertise. Every creation reflects a balance of past and present, delivering high-quality, thoughtfully engineered retro-modern technology.
