Three more, last few answered in less than an hour!

TRICENTROL (oil, now part of Arco)
CAP GEMINI (Parisian management consultants, now part of Ernst & Young)
AXA (French insurance company)
These are not given on any official websites but my queries are currently with the companies concerned, with no replies guaranteed.Can you beat them to it?

Ah, this appears to be connected with a thread posted in December.

I remember reading a thread like this some months ago, and if I remember correctly, satguru is looking for the origin of company names that are acronyms. I'm not 100% sure though...

That is correct.

It is much better to post the question each time, or bring up the thread and add to it. There are new people here all the time who won't know about the original question and other members who won't remember it.

OOPS! yes, of course I meant company name ORIGINS! Sorry. I've found Tricentrol, (Trinidad central oils), but I'll repost the question properly.
