A small point which may be of some interest and explain why
there are several companies which go by these initials.
A.M.D.G. stands for
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam
which is latin for
To the Greater Glory of God.
The Latin phrase was a favorite of St. Ignatius
of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus,
i.e. the Jesuits.
It is used routinely by His Holiness, Pope John
Paul II. In his writings, on the top left of
every page he prints the letters AMDG.
The holy abbreviation has been used throughout
the ages by many. For example, the music composer
Johann Sebastian Bach was known to write on his
finished works, either above or below his own name,
the initials "AMDG."
I suppose if my parents had been educated by the
Jesuits ("give me a child before the age of seven
and I will give you a catholic for life.") then I
might well have been named,
Anthony Michael David Grimer
But they weren't and I wasn't ;-)
