OK, after actually reading the page (blush!), i realise 
it is probably a made up name:

"""
FabriKam, a furniture manufacturer with about 10,000 employees, 
faces business problems and challenges not unlike many of 
today's enterprises.
"""

so i'm left wondering if it's a term in common use in the US?
