Nomenclature
It is often difficult to figure out the logic of
a company's product naming system. This is usually due to the fact that
creative marketing minds are at work trying to come up with a ’catchy’ brand
name. This can get very confusing when a large number of products are
offered. We have tried to be a bit different
and have named our products in as logical fashion as possible. If not
catchy, they are certainly functional!
