Defunct companies

Wikimedia Commons has media related to Category:Defunct companies.

This category is for companies that were once significant, but are now defunct, which means they no longer exist. Some were driven out of business by competitors. Some simply stopped operation. Some went bankrupt. Some were merged with or acquired willingly through sale to other companies, or bought in a hostile takeover.

Note that some companies may continue to operate under their old name but as a subsidiary of a parent company.
