Sister company is just a fancy way of saying that the same factory produces them or they are owned by the same people.
Thing is that I understand enough of the politics to see why a name change was needed. Nomad has lost popularity over the last couple of years, but one thing they still have to their advantage is a very solid distribution network and when you have that in place you risk very little with a re-branding of your product. Basically the Nomad distribution network is their most powerful asset and far more valuable than the Nomad name.
Re-branding of Nomad to Ciccone makes perfect sense because they can start fresh without the stigma of poor quality attached to the Nomad brand and because they already have the distribution network it's a very painless process to promote the "new" brand. It could also be that new partners got involved and that required a "new" brand so that Nomad and Ciccone can be distinguished, but I'm just guessing and don't give a shit about their management.
What I do care about is that the forum is used/abused to promote a brand as something new and wonderful when it's just an old wolf in sheep's clothing.
lobo, I'm not accusing you of any wrong doing, but had to ask what your involvement is. For someone with no association with them other than a few dealings you came across as very determined to keep their name in the clear. The irony is that getting a few knobs from injecting a high dose testosterone product is not considered a sign of inferior quality and is not something that will hurt the brand in any way whatsoever. A good brand will promote itself and any effort to artificially create hype around it will just cause it to backfire, I know I've seen it happen before.
