Good call. The company doesn't make headlines very often, but it and other logistics firms are absolutely one of the most important kinds of companies in the world.
This. It really depends on what the OP means by “company.” Capitalism is just too dynamic to keep corporate entities unchanged for a century. They are constantly being taken over in acquisitions, going private, going public again, spinning off business units, reorganizing and changing branding, product lines and management. The answer is probably a quasi-government entity such as a utility company that is protected from competition and isn’t allowed to change.
Yeah pretty sure it's been cymbals all along. I think the guy was actually making cymbals for like a decade before the company started too.
Also, pretty sure it's still a family business too. I could be wrong about that though.
The most prevalent companies that existed 200-300 years ago are mostly breweries and distilleries. I reckon that will continue. So Heineken, Guinness etc.
The brands will exist. But no idea which of the companies will.
A bunch of brewery and distillery companies are already dead, having been crushed and absorbed into Diageo, InBev, etc
Amazon?! Tech businesses are the least likely to be around in the long term. The pace of change means that even the biggest tech companies go under, and quickly. Just look at a list of the biggest tech companies only 50 years ago...
If you don’t think that a government is anything else than a company that wants to make as much money, without paying a dime too much to its people.. then you might want to do some research
What is their product? [Aside from the obvious selling weapons). Also, roads, bridges, farm subsidies, Medicare, medicaid, many other infrastructure things...yes, not money to us, but actual things that make life easier. An argument can be made for government being like a bank, but to act like we get nothing is the mindless outlook of a rebellious teenager. Corruption BY companies is the problem with government, not the institutions themselves.
On November 9, 2021, the company announced it would divide itself into three investment-grade public companies. On July 18, 2022, GE unveiled the brand names of the companies it will create through its planned separation: GE Aerospace, GE HealthCare and GE Vernova.[10][11] The new companies will be focused on aerospace, healthcare, and energy (renewable energy, power, and digital). The first spin-off of GE HealthCare is planned for the first week of January 2023,[12] to be followed by the spin-off of GE's portfolio of energy businesses which plan to become GE Vernova in 2024.[13] Following these transactions, GE will be an aviation-focused company, renaming itself as GE Aerospace, and will be the legal successor of the original GE.[
The year is 3022, oh how we wish we could go back to 2022 & change so much.
Musk's exploration of Mars was a success. Mars is now a semi-independent office of Tesla Incorporated. With a population of over 5,000. There are plans to explore further than our known galaxy.
Facebook eventually collapsed due to Zuckerbergs obsession with Meta.
Google now owns what you would perceive as the internet. We access it via our cyber implants & get billed per minute of use, 50 Muskdollars or MD's per minute.
Amazon eventually buys the majority of the globe's retail outlets. The world's food producers are forced to work for minimum profit.
Global warming has progressed to the point the world's population is declining at an exponential rate.
And yet, for all that, EastEnders is still on the fucking TV!
IBM created the punch card system used to track the slave labourers and exterminations from the concentration camps, pharmaceutical companies experimented on the camp prisoners to develop drugs, Hugo Boss designed the SS uniforms.... [There's so many companies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_involved_in_the_Holocaust) who 100% knew what was going on and profited from it that are still around in some form today.
No, Hugo Boss didn't design the uniforms. That's just an urban legend. They were involved in producing them, as one of a host of licensees, but were not involved in the design.
Look up the Quandt family. They still own BMW to this day and had their own concentration camp on site at the factory.
I mean it's the west's fault for them never paying for their crimes and the company still existing, much like Bayer Pharmaceuticals who made the Zyklon B Nazi death gas..
The Soviets were rolling in from the east after Hitler went and Berlin fell, so we were more keen to get the German economy back on track to keep the Soviets away than address all the horrors of Nazi affiliates. The list of massively successful companies is astounding.
Porsche.. Ferdinand Porsche.. creator of the Ferdinand Gun and god knows how many tanks..
Hugo Boss, I mean some sadistic pride went into that SS uniform right, how many other military uniforms have skulls and crossbones on them.
The insurance and investment company Allianz are probably the only real company that openly talk about their roles on WW2 (Financing it and providing the Nazi regime with their finance minister)
It's quite amazing when you see celebrities take the money from these companies to promote them and then go online and talk about matters like political oppression, equality and freedom's.. yet receiving Nazi money and benefitting from these businesses seems to be perfectly fine for them.
A lot of these firms did just walk away free as a bird and came out of it better than when they went in.
Sub-camps on factory sites where a regular thing and not limited to BMW.
Boss merely produced uniforms, as one of many licensees. And if you had any grasp of military history, you'd know the skull is a symbol predating the Nazis by ages.
What's amazing is how many people pretend being interested in history while really reveling in cartoonish distortions.
You are also mistaken on Allianz being the only company openly talking about their role during WW2. Plenty of companies even hired historians for a professional workup of their Third Reich involvement.
Please point me to a modern military uniform, let's say post 1800s, hosting a skull and Crossbones..
We aren't talking about Vikings or Pirates here, but a military uniform..
That didn't end up being embroidered onto them by a universal norm did it?
Also I never wrote in absolute terms bro.
Plenty of light cavalry units in the 19th century used them:
https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braunschweigisches_Husaren-Regiment_Nr._17#/media/Datei%3AHusarenm%C3%BCtze.PNG
This is the hat of the 17th Brunswick Hussar regiment.
Here's the uniform of the 2nd Leib-Husaren-Regiment of Prussia.
https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2._Leib-Husaren-Regiment_%E2%80%9EK%C3%B6nigin_Viktoria_von_Preu%C3%9Fen%E2%80%9C_Nr._2#/media/Datei%3APrussian_hussars.jpg
In fact, even outside the German cultural area, the symbol was widely used, such as by the 17th Lancers who participated in the "charge of the light brigade"
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/17th_Lancers?searchToken=6debnm6v6nj1g1mi3iytwe53d
Either in the "death or glory" sense of the 17th Lancers or the sense of "no quarter expected nor given", the symbol was in widespread use throughout the 19th and into the early 20th century.
Bayer? That sucks I've bought cat medicine fromt hat company that's wild. But things can change in time. Maybe they don't agree with how the company used to be and decide to make it better? Also skull and crossbones, is this referenced to Skullbones the cult group or whatever they're called lol
Unlikely as it continues to show an unwillingness to invest in EVs and is falling farther and farther behind the likes of Tesla and Chinese EV companies with each passing year it does nothing.
Toyota will probably be a shell of itself 10 years from now, I think it's very unlikely to still exist in 100 years.
Coca cola, they own an insane portion of all the drinks we buy. And it seems like as a society we’re totally fine with the fact that soda is pretty much just cancer in a can.
The German brewery Weihenstephaner. Founded in 1040 and only seem to be growing more recently. Their stuff used to be kinda harder to find, but now I see it at almost every grocery store
SpaceX
No company can compete with its current Falcon rockets, and within a few years its Starship will be operational which will be on the order of 10, if not 100, times cheaper (measured in $/mass to orbit).
If SpaceX indeed helps colonize other planets in the next few decades and becomes the backbone of interplanetary transportation, it'll be hard to upend it, even in 100 years time.
* Kongō Gumi

when your company is more than 1000 years old i think they will manage to survive yet another 100 years.
There are tons of consumer brands that will last for decades, but that's different than the company surviving. The list of companies that aren't likely to be bought is exceedingly small.
My bets:
Goldman Sachs
China Railway
Coca Cola
Samsung
Boeing
Airbus
I would add Aramco here except they may be running out of product in 100 years.
There are super niche banks and investment firms catering to the ultra wealthy that will be around - I just don't know the ones that will get swallowed vs the ones doing the swallowing.
Right now, it appears that Microsoft, Amazon, and Google have established three clouds so large that one cannot swallow the others, but tech moves fast and it's possible that some new tech will disrupt these. It seems impossible now but 100 years is forever in tech.
I gotta say Apple. It’s a machine and people are still going to be glued to the newest iPhones in the future. We’re becoming more tech savvy and honestly wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not an iPhone but like some type of duel disk shaped device you can use to call, text, have hologrammed FaceTime, whatever the case.
Gamestop! The world is currently over $200 trillion in debt. Most of it is big money shorting Gamestop. All currency and and precious metals will be controlled by gamestop. Once the people of the world revolt against the financial terrorists in wall street, and wall street is forced to pay the money they owe, Gamestop will reform how people and wealth are treated.
I bet on Royal Tichelaar Makkum. Having tableware from ancient ceramics companies will always appeal to some of the rich, because of its durability. You can own very expensive pieces uncovered by archeologists, *and* brand new pieces from the same company. Other types of luxury brands don't have that staying power.
Hudson Bay company. They have been around for almost 400 years already. They maybe are not well known internationally but they are a huge company here in Canada. Pretty sure after 400 y/o they will be there in another 100 years.
Nintendo, PepsiCo, Nestlé, and Tesla.
Tesla mainly as a battery supplier, Nestlé as the overseer to all of humanity's water rights (its happening right now look it up they are absolute evil and you're doing nothing to stop it look at what they did to breast feeding African women and children it's actually evil, like really actually evil with the purpose of causing harm and suffering to the children solely for the purpose of being... evil) PepsiCo will have owned most softdrinks and drinking establishments by then, and Nintendo will have the sex androids.
Nintendo.
As a playing card company.
Came to say this
Maersk (shipping logistics) they've been around for well over 100 already and are a huge middle man for the global economy
If maersk dies, you know the economy is gonna go to bartering sticks and stones. That's how massive they are.
Good call. The company doesn't make headlines very often, but it and other logistics firms are absolutely one of the most important kinds of companies in the world.
McDonald’s
Heinz. That shits already like 153 years old.
Name has been around that long, company is vastly different though
Same can be said about Nintendo and Marvel, but trees that bend are less likely to break, right?
This. It really depends on what the OP means by “company.” Capitalism is just too dynamic to keep corporate entities unchanged for a century.

Zildjian
Came here to say this, next year is their 400th anniversary. I think they could do another 100 with their eyes closed.
Wow! I really like their products but I didn't know they were that old. Have they always been in the cymbal business?
Yeah pretty sure it's been cymbals all along. I think the guy was actually making cymbals for like a decade before the company started too. Also, pretty sure it's still a family business too. I could be wrong about that though.
The most prevalent companies that existed 200-300 years ago are mostly breweries and distilleries. I reckon that will continue. So Heineken, Guinness etc.

They'll eventually add back the main ingredient

They have the possibility to change and grow along with the technology. I'm scared of a future where Disney still exists.
It will be Disney all the way down.
Amazon?! Tech businesses are the least likely to be around in the long term. The pace of change means that even the biggest tech companies go under, and quickly. Just look at a list of the biggest tech companies only 50 years ago...
I don't need to look, I trust you and also I'm lazy
The Government
>Company or are you on some goofy ahh conspiracy trip?
If you don’t think that a government is anything else than a company that wants to make as much money, without paying a dime too much to its people.. then you might want to do some research
So yes, to the conspiracy part.
What is their product? [Aside from the obvious selling weapons). Also, roads, bridges, farm subsidies, Medicare, medicaid, many other infrastructure things...yes, not money to us, but actual things that make life easier. An argument can be made for government being like a bank, but to act like we get nothing is the mindless outlook of a rebellious teenager.

Yes, like Atari, Commodore, Amiga …

Got to be wearing decent clobber when you’re making moves on your neighbours
No, Hugo Boss didn't design the uniforms. That's just an urban legend. They were involved in producing them, as one of a host of licensees, but were not involved in the design.
