Langile Corporation

Langile Corporation was a company that owned Warren Langile Media and formerly ATBW Label Networks until being spun off to Langile Mediaworks Division in 2003, and formerly Langile Consumer Brand until the split in 2003 of the consumer and media divisions, which the media company was then renamed "Langile Mediaworks Corporation," and the consumer company was renamed "Langile Consumer Brand," which was separated but was still owned by Eric Langile IV until 2008, when the brand was made independent from the langiles, until 5 years later it dissolved, which made Langile Heavy Machinery a fully independent company, and Eric, Langile, and ATBW Air Conditioners forming AEL Air Conditioners that same time in 2013. Eric Lawn Mowers and Spade Lawn Mowers were also made independent (though spade eventually ceased operations in 2016).

Langile Corporation after the 2003 split retained its Langile Corporation name in spite of its successor, Langile Mediaworks Division, which was then in charge of media outlets, ATBW Label Networks (until September 17, 2019), Warren Langile Mediaworks, and other Langile Media Outlets, due to continued operations of its banks and cable service. "A Langile Mediaworks Corporation" was only used in media, not in banking or cable servicing, which continued to use the "A Langile Corporation" byline until the split on September 17, 2019.

History
The company was originally made to hold Langile Studios, later alongside Spade Lawn Mowers, Eric Lawn Mowers, Langile Motor Company, Eric Motor Company, and later ATBW Label Networks. It also held the Langile Corporation Brand Division, which was a brand name used by the company, largely used on Langile Corporation's consumer products (pre-2003). While running ATBW, Langile also manufactured products; record players, internal combustion minicars, and newspapers, and once even held Langile Records until it was broken up in 1987, but was used to put songs on players throughout its early life.

While Eric Langile was raising Eric Langile II and Warren Langile in the 1920's, he saw an opportunity to create a cartoon character, Amden in 1928, which would eventually become a fashion character 90 years later in the 2010's. His second kid was named after his fourth employee's last name, which was Warren, who he and Eric eventually were responsible for being the founders of Warren Langile Media in 1937 as a media company, initially on radio.

In 1929, Eric needed to figure out how to keep his studio successful, and as such the first four employees (hence ATBW's meaning in its credentials as representing their last names) wanted to use Zach The Stick Person as their mascot, which would be present in their first logo in 1930 and would remain this way for many decades. He would eventually appear in One Way Or Another in 1935.

During these times, Eric was also focused on records through his record label and tried to keep his companies under it as strong as ATBW. He eventually started a store selling his records and electronics under Langile Store, which would live on to be an electronics store throughout the 1930's. ATBW had already grown successfully after being a division of Langile Corporation. He also sold Spade Lawn Mowers in the store and other consumer brands.

He eventually began struggling in the 1960's due to new companies such as Walmart and other new chains at the time, which prompted ATBW Store in 1963 selling all ATBW franchises, which were only sold there. This allowed them to step up with new players and eventually other retail stores opening up in the 1970's and 1980's. ATBW eventually started buying companies, with their first one being Pido's Pizza in 1980, which gave them only little benefit in surviving. Additionally, new tech companies like Apple, were also blooming then, thus Langile Corporation having to find new ways to keep up. ATBW had sold the A-Tron aperture grille CRT since 1950, prompting Langile Corporation to make branded versions of it under Eric, Langile, Spade, and Warren brands to continue staying caught up, though this pretty much was the same TV as it functioned exactly like the original ATBW sets.

In 1990, ATBW launched ATBW Blog, an online video, photo, game, and blog service, which was eventually found to be their key answer to their problems the decade prior. They eventually bought more companies in the 1990's, with Lifeworks Inc., EAPL Inc., and Escade Corporation in 1994, and CLP Network in 1996, and eventually kept buying more companies during Langile Corporation's last full decade of existence before the split in 2003.

2002 was the last official year of Langile Corporation's existence and service. It was split into Langile Mediaworks Division (until 2019) and Langile Consumer Branding (until 2013) on May 30, 2003.
