In the 1960s, a typical S&P 500 company was projected to last for more than 60 years. Nowadays, with the rapidly transforming business landscape today, it’s down to just 18 years.

The oldest company in the world is a construction company Kongō Gumi Co., Ltd.in Japan. It started in 578.
The second oldest company is located in Europe: St. Peter Stifts Kulinarium, a restaurant industry in Austria, started in 803.

Here are visual maps of the oldest company in almost every country.
It's mind-blowing how old some companies are, and going strong since.

All maps are from https://www.visualcapitalist.com/oldest-companies/

Pretty cool. The Wichitas down here in the SW part of the state seem a lot less pronounced compared to the Kiamichis in the SE part. There's definitely a vertical exaggeration, but at least it shows this state isn't all flat.


Another "company" map. Well-known brands from each US state:
