Mecel's software products unusual naming system: Why Betula, Populus and Picea?

From mountain heaths, meadows, mires and endless forests - inspiration came quite easily. Our software products names are based upon the Latin names for Nordic trees.

"We wanted to reflect the qualities of growth, sustainability and a general Nordic flavour," says Jonas Nilsson, Business Manager at Mecel. 

Mecel Betula Suite, for example is named after the Nordic birch tree. The birch is known to be a hard, durable wood, and these qualities reflect the robustness of Mecel's Bluetooth solution.

Continuing the product portfolio overview, the Mecel Populus Suite is named after the viable and fast-growing Poplar tree. Mecel Populus with similar features is a complete tool chain for designing, developing and deploying user interfaces for distributed embedded systems.

Finally Mecel Picea Suite is Mecel's solution for efficient development of AUTOSAR-compliant ECUs. Mecel chose the name Picea, which we know as the Spruce, as it is by far the most common and widespread tree in the Nordic region.
