What is the true meaning of SNEB?

[Weasel Pilot]

Have seen Societe Nationale des Explosifs Brandt and Societe Nouvelle des Establishments Edgar Brandt, which...if either...is correct? (Of course neither is correct, since I didn't put the correct diacritical marks, but you get the idea)

offcial was it
"Societe Nouvelle des Etablissements Edgar Brandt"
in english: "New Compay Establishments Edgar Brandt"
today is TDA ARMEMENTS SAS part of Groupe THALES

because "Etablissements Edgar Brandt" merge with "Hotchkiss et Cie" In 1956
and was renamed la "société Hotchkiss-Brandt" (today part of Thomson-CSF)
SNEB came later
