Weyland-Yutani

Weyland-Yutani Corporation is featured in the Alien franchise, and has been referenced on other various projects, including a scene in Firefly where the brand logo is seen on an anti-aircraft weapon.

Weyland-Yutani Corporation, often shortened to Weyland-Yutani and commonly referred to as Wey-Yu or simply "The Company", was a large British-Japanese multinational conglomerate. It was founded in 2099 by the merger of Weyland Corp and Yutani Corporation. Weyland-Yutani was primarily a technology supplier, manufacturing synthetics, starships and computers for a wide range of industrial and commercial clients, making them a household name. The company also had numerous non-manufacturing interests; it possessed extensive assets in interplanetary shipping and transport, and operated human colonies outside the solar system through the Extrasolar Colonization Administration. The company also held a seat on the review board of the Interstellar Commerce Commission, which it owned, although the organization itself was ostensibly independent.
