The legendary King Arthur
brandished a magic sword,
Excalibur, from which we take
our company name. With this
unique weapon in his hands,
he could not be vanquished.
Although Excalibur Electronics
can’t claim the magical
secrets of Merlin, King Arthur’s
court wizard, sometimes our
patented technology may
make it seem as if we could.
