If you tell us about him, location, stuff relating to the future business, etc. we could help you think of a good name.

It has to be something scary or god like. You know, Dark Cycles, Diety, Saint, Diabolus, etc. Oh and all the parts must be white or we will all hate you.

I like that! Makes me think that the parts will all be nice a light.
Deity might get upset though.
How about Scrumtrulescent Fabrications?

i like the scary angle. you could mine some great ideas from metal. how about: (spoken withwith a death metal voice) CORPSEGRINDER INDUSTRIES, MALEVOLENT MACHINE WORKS, or SATANIC CYCLES. you could do neat pentagram graphics and maybe even flames! you can never have enough flames!

Are they going to be "good" parts, is he likely to be striving to make the very best component in it's sector? If so, how about Grail - as in Holy Grail

Grail - Informal. any greatly desired and sought-after objective; ultimate ideal or reward.
