Whenever I am in doubt about a proper name, I do a web search using Google or another well-known search engine (yahoo, ask.com, msn) to see if the entity's official site has been translated to English or if another semi-official entity has decided to translate the name or not. This company's web-site came up quickly from a Google search.
