Weyland-Yutani Corporation (Earth-9471)

"Building better worlds."

- - Weyland-Yutani's slogan

The Weyland-Yutani Corporation, often shortened to Weyland-Yutani and commonly referred to as Wey-Yu, was a massive British-Japanese conglomerate. Founded in 2399 with the merger of the Weyland and Yutani Corporations, the company is an important developer of technology for the USCMC and other military contractors, manufacturing products that range from Replicants, spaceships and computers, operating under the Interstellar Commerce Commission for interplanetary shipping and transport as one of the most important conglomerate for humanity.

The Weyland-Yutani Corporation ultimately collapsed in 2571 following its loss at the Hadley Trials, which found the company responsible for covering its responsibility regarding the global purity pandemic, as well a series of incidents on colonies and their own installations involving xenomorphs. This led the company to go bankrupt and its subsidiaries to shut down, while some of them were bought by rival companies.

History
The Weyland-Yutani Corporation was founded with the aggressive acquisition of the Japanese technology developer Yutani Corporations by the Weyland Corporation, a British multinational, in 2099. The now massive Weyland-Yutani continued to grow, slowly absorbing smaller companies and investing on multiple sectors, rapidly becoming a household name. The companies owned by Weyland-Yutani still continued to operate under their own brands, notably the Concordance Extraction Corporation.

Being superpowerful, Weyland-Yutani was of high importance for the interstellar expansion known as Domus Diaspora, supplying the multiple national governments of Earth and their military bodies with multiple tools that made the colonization efforts more effective, such as colony ships.
