We construct orientifolds of type IIA string theory. The theory is compactified on a T 6 /ZN × ZM orbifold. In addition worldsheet parity in combination with a reflection of three compact directions is modded out. Tadpole cancellation requires to add D-6-branes at angles. The resulting four dimensional theories are N = 1 supersymmetric and non-chiral.
