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.
We make you think.
