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.
