Wayne Enterprises
founded in the 17th century and thus is one of the oldest companies in the world. Along the years it has evolved from a merchant house to a large multinational conglomerate company that can go up against its bigger competitor LexCorp.
The company changed when the heirs of Judge Solomon Wayne used their father's wealth and founded Wayne Shipping and Wayne Chemical. Wayne Manufacturing soon followed as the fourth branch of the company. All these companies were energized and powered by the world's Industrial Revolution and they kept changing; more branches were opened and built while others dwindled and were discarded.
Wayne Enterprises became a green company under the control of Patrick and Laura Wayne and has been environmentally conscious from that time forward. Even when environmentalism wasn't a fad or a necessity, Wayne Enterprises followed those ideals. At the turn of the 20th century, Wayne Enterprises was the city in many ways and even now they employ the largest part of the city's considerable work-force.
Through two World Wars and the great recessions the company has come through and with the help of Lucius Fox it now stands as the forerunner in many fields of technology. WayneCorp changed its name to Wayne Enterprises in the 1980's. It has been able to rejuvenate itself many times and has been able to survive and stand tall even after the Cataclysm and the Billion Dollar Build-Up where its efforts were far greater than LexCorp's. It has since bought out STAR LABS, and is second only to Stark International, in earninings and profits.
