Comment: All five sources currently in the draft are primary (Mentaur's web site and a database listing). You should be aware that Wikipedia is almost completely uninterested in what a company says about itself – if there is to be an article about Mentaur, it must be based on what people who are not connected to the company publish about them, independently.
