Or for that matter, skip dmidecode and get the info from:

cat /sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor
cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name

The nice thing about this method is you don't need to be root.  Also,
dmidecode isn't priority essential.

However, if you consider dmidecode a better/more stable abstraction
than /sys/class/dmi/id, it might still be preferable.
