RBG Daesan-Varl

RBG Daesan-Varl (stylized as RBGDaesan-Varl, also known as RBGDV) is a multinational chemical conglomerate. The company was formed in 2048 from the merger of RBG Daesan and Varl Electrochemical. The company has headquarters in Seoul, South Korea; Hamburg, Germany; and New York City, United States, each catering to a third of the company's global market.

The company divides its operations between three central markets: raw material production, agricultural services, and pharmaceutical production. The former includes the production of plastics and chemicals, as well as recycling services.

RBG Daesan-Varl is the largest chemical corporation in the world by revenue and volume, as well as the largest pharmaceutical company in the world by revenue. Additionally, the company is the largest global manufacturer of capacitors, a status it inherited from its component progenitor Varl Electrochemical.

History and operations
The company traces its origins to the merger of its three direct predecessors; Rohdes Corporation, Daesan Chemical Corporation, and Varl Electrochemical, all three of which were, up through their combination, global leaders in their respective niches of the chemical engineering and manufacturing industries. The merger, conducted as two incremental operations over the course of two years, is thought to have been the brainchild of Kim Chul and Alphonse Gale. Kim was the president of Daesan in the 2040s, when the company had a controlling share of Rohdes Corporation, a company on which Gale was vice-chairman. Gale also sat on the board of directors for Varl Electrochemical.

The company operates as a conglomerate, with the three constituent predecessor corporations mostly retaining their corporate structure within their own global regions. The global entity is essentially a direct descendant of Daesan Chemical Corporation, however, and many elements from Daesan's corporate structure have been extended throughout the entirety of the conglomerate. The most notable example of this is the division within the executive structure between corporate officers and operations foremen, which had existed within Daesan as a result of South Korean labor laws. The first General Foreman for the conglomerate was Ann Jale.
