Using two DLLs with same name and same namespace

I have a project which needs to reference two DLLs with the same name. The DLLs are not strong named, have the same exact name.

I need to access some types within each DLL, but these types have the same fully qualified name. So let's say the first one is companyDLL.dll with someProduct.Type1 and the second one is companyDLL.dll with someProduct.Type1.

How can I access both Type1 classes within the same project?

I have already tried using extern alias, but it requires me to change the name of one of the DLLs.
