Mobel Electronics Inc.
Explanation:
From their website:
"Mobel Electronics Inc. is Canada's leading independent distributor of memory for computers, notebooks, laser printers and digital cameras. "

I am just guessing this from the other company names:
Runesas, Rohm, Sanken, Mitsubishi, Toshiba, Matsushita - they all produce semiconductors, memories, etc.

マベル could be also Ma Bell - but that is not an official company name, just a reference to the old Bell company, so I don't think that's the solution.

neutral  Maynard Hogg: 母なる電話会社 was my first guess. Why マ and not モ?
1 hr
  -> I don't know why not モ. It could be a typo in the original, or the person did not know how to spell it in katakana - without more context, we can only guess...
agree  Kurt Hammond: agree. It is not "ma bell" , that would probably be マーベル　or マー・ベル

agree  Maynard Hogg: Bingo. Eighteen hits for marvell マーベル.
11 hrs
  -> Thank.
agree  Katalin Horváth McClure: Yes, this sound like a good guess, too. The correct katakana spelling is　マーベル、slightly different from the asker's version, but that could be a typo. We can only guess at this point.
11 hrs
  -> Thanks for the spelling. Agere also works for chips in telecom application, so I think Marvell can be lined up with it.
agree  snowbees: Fits the list of chips supplier.
