The legendary King Arthur
brandished a magic sword,
Excalibur, from which we take
our company name. With this
unique weapon in his hand,
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.
We make you think.
