The British company Acorn Computers picked their name to appear even earlier in the alphabet. Acer of Taiwan beat that, is there any company earlier than Acer?

(Acorn was the original "A" in ARM, the Acorn Risc Machine.)

There have been thousands of 'Aardvark Computers' around the world, but afaik they have all been support/service companies rather than manufacturers.
