My first thought is {qorDayt baS Dochmey} "Kordite's things of metal".
That's not quite the right meaning of "of", but with the "it's a name"
argument, I can accept it. Indeed, I have no problem proposing it!
Bonus [or not]: the words are in the same order as the English, which
makes it that much easier for the reader of the business card to figure
it out.
