(NYSE: ITW) company, Valeron, collaborated with naming company NameStormers to successfully launch Vortec—a high-performance, moisture management film for industrial applications. As with all businesses, Valeron’s future growth depended on building a strong brand name. NameStormers was hired to apply best practices in comprehensive corporate branding strategies and develop a name for Valeron’s newest product. The naming company and Valeron incorporated the look and feel of the corporate name into the subsidiary brand, using a technique applied to other naming projects NameStormers has completed for national and international businesses alike—including several Fortune 500 companies. Valeron’s new brand name met the criteria to:
- Support corporate brand positioning
- Build equity in the corporate brand
