German term or phrase: Eins passt zum anderen

Can anyone think of a snappy way of saying this?

The slogan refers to accessories, i.e. customers should buy original accessories to go with the company in question's systems.

complementary

Explanation:
Here's another suggestion. This is pretty standard in the states. "Our Product A is a nice complement to our Product B" for example

Example sentence(s):

Our home made waffle cones are the perfect compliment to any ice cream treat.

fit like hand-in-glove

Explanation:
Would be another option....

"Oracle's BI Enterprise Edition and Oracle-Hyperion's performance management tools are both significant upgrades to any of BEA's current BI offerings, Kobielus said, and they will soon be the preferred choice for BEA customers.
"Obviously, there's a lot of direct competition between BEA and Oracle," he said, "but on the business intelligence front, I think they fit like hand-in-glove."
