Carthage Industries is a multinational technology and computer engineering conglomerate. While the country they originates from is unknown, they have offices in Lisbon, Portugal. They have a vested interest in the underwater research facility PATHOS-II alongside Haimatsu Technologies.

In SOMA, the company was likely de facto dissolved after the Impact Event. The only known surviving Carthage Industries employees are those stationed on PATHOS-II.

Appearances

While it is unknown when exactly Carthage Industries was established, Carthage Industries has at least existed sometime before July 5, 2084, the date of a maintenance clipboard found in a shuttle in Upsilon B.

In Mark Sarang's room, there is a classified document from the supervisory board of Carthage Industries, dated March 7th, 2102, discussing how pleased they were in his efforts to make the WAU a station-wide presence. Going as far as to deem it so important that if Ross experiences any emergencies that he should contact Julia Dahl to forcefully eliminate any opposition.

Within specific rooms throughout PATHOS-II, Simon Jarrett can find boxes and other materials that had been supplied by Carthage Industries suggesting they were a normal presence throughout the facility, despite the fact that most of their projects remain classified.

It also appears that of the three key employees, the two that have accessible rooms have maps specially provided by Carthage Industries showing what the actual facility looks like, proven with the map showing Alpha along with the Carthage Industries logo in the corner.

Behind the Scenes

The Carthage Industries logo was designed by David Didi Satzinger. On Satzinger's website, they mentioned that the inspiration for the logo was that of “old, dishwasher companies.”

Some voice recordings by Julia Dahl can be found in Omicron in which she ironically ends her entries with the Latin expression "delenda est", referring to the ancient Rome expression "Carthago delenda est" ("Carthage must be destroyed") coined during the Punic Wars. It's possible that it could be an internal motto of some kind for the company.
