I'm working with a industrial supplies company, which goes by the name 'Schad' which also distributes enclosures (German: 'Gehaeuse') from a big manufacturer and modifies them. That's what we buy there.
But  the term 'Schadgehaeuse' or 'Schad-gehaeuse' also means 'defective enclosure' or 'damaged enclosure'. We have a lot of jokes on them.

Another case happened in a project, where a company going by the name 'Stock' was involved. They supplied special peripheral modules both to us and to our customer. For those components and materials, which were already in common use in our production line, we noted under 'source' in the BoMs 'from stock'.
One time a representative of our customer called me and complained that 'Stock' does not sell those items!

And not exactly a company name, but Moron AFB does exist. It's in Spain :)

At least not in Latin America, in Mexico for example is more like to intimidate or to shame someone in past tense. In vulgar slang way it means to shit in the pants. It's also a short way of Francisco. In the Southern Cone it means nothing at all.
Mr.B:
Until recently our company used a photo ID card printer manufactured by TIT Engineering Co of Korea.

BTW: Crap quality, don't buy one.
We now use a Zebra ID card printer.
