Product of orders of generators of a finite group

Hi all,

I have a question about finite groups: is it true or false that, for
each finite group G, there is some set {g_1,...,g_n} of generators of G
such that the order of G is the product of the orders of the g_i's?

Best regards,

Jose Carlos Santos
