Here in Germany we had an ad for a "Tiefbauunternehmen" / "civil engineering company".

The German name translates to "deep building company". Their slogan: "Experten für untenrum" / "professionals for the parts down below".

I hope the translation works

The translation works. Dick jokes are dick jokes.

not necessarily a dick joke in English; sounds like they could handle whatever youve got and whatever you want accomplished with it.

if its only a dick joke in German, they come off as way more competent in English.
