m (logo, altname, summary rewrite and content move to Company section. Should this article be titled "Dorema Wywy Group"? I think Wywy was the name chiefly identified on the packaging, but it looks like "Dorema Wywy Group" was the name of the company that? Hm. I'm unfamiliar with all this, but might be interesting to look into for whoever.)
