A company, abbreviated as co., is a
legal entity representing an association of legal people, whether
natural,
juridical or a mixture of both, with a specific objective. Company members share a common purpose and unite to achieve specific, declared goals.
Over time, companies have evolved to have following features: "separate legal personality, limited liability, transferable shares, investor ownership, and a managerial hierarchy". The company, as an entity, was created by the
state which granted the privilege of incorporation.

Union Films was a film production company located in Batavia,
Dutch East Indies (now
Jakarta, Indonesia). Established by
ethnic Chinese businessmen Ang Hock Liem and Tjoa Ma Tjoen in 1940, it produced seven
black-and-white films before it was dissolved in 1942; all are thought to be
lost. The company's films were directed by four men, mostly ethnic Chinese, and launched the careers of actors such as
Rendra Karno and
Djoewariah.
Established during the revival of the Indies film industry, Union released its first film, Kedok Ketawa, in July 1940. This was followed by a series of films penned by
Saeroen which were increasingly oriented towards the Indies' growing
intelligentsia and attempted to distance themselves from the theatrical conventions which were common in the contemporary film industry. This continued after Saeroen left for
Star Film in 1941, with Union's final two productions emphasising
realism. Following the
Japanese occupation of the Indies in March 1942, Union was dissolved, though its films continued to be screened into the mid 1940s. (Full article...)
