The 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 primarily a technology supplier, manufacturing Synthetics, spaceships and computers for a wide range of industrial and commercial clients, making them a household name. Weyland-Yutani had numerous non-manufacturing interests; the company had extensive assets in interplanetary shipping and transport, and was one of the corporations that operated human colonies outside the solar system through the Extrasolar Colonization Administration, which it owned or controls. Weyland-Yutani was consistently portrayed as exhibiting the worst aspects of corporate profiteering, willing to sacrifice decency and life in the endless pursuit of profits. 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. Weyland-Yutani's main offices were located in London, Tokyo, San Francisco, the Sea of Tranquillity on Luna and on Thedus.
Following the First Multiverse War, a version of this corporation from the Cuti'cinit Universe was secretly controlled and manipulated by the Axis of Empires for their use of bio-weapons until it was defunct by the Alliance.
