Founded by Kier Eagan in 1865,[2] Lumon Industries is the world’s leading biotechnology company. Lumon’s first product, a topical salve, was developed in 1866. Every leader of the company since its founding has been a member of the Eagan family.

It is hinted that Lumon is a very large and powerful company, having over a hundred thousand employees and numerous offices all over the world.[3] From their humble beginnings as a salve company, Lumon grew into medical technoloy and other spheres of the tech space. While it is influential across its corporate reach, its headquarters in Kier, PE do the most cutting edge work.

Lumon Industries had humble beginnings, and its original logo of a flask, spoon, and drop of fluid reflects its original mandate. This logo is featured on a signet ring worn by current Lumon CEO, Jame Eagan, and it can be assumed would pass to his daughter Helena upon his Revolving.

Company culture

The culture at Lumon is dominated by the philosophy and writings of its founder. The company encourages its employees to revere Kier Eagan’s works and follow his principles closely. It is commonplace to quote Kier Eagan as a form of response in conversation.

In addition to the written materials, the office spaces at Lumon are decorated primarily with oil paintings depicting scenes from the life of its founder. The collection of paintings is vast and is carefully guarded and maintained by the department of Optics and Design, which is located on the Severed Floor. Paintings are rotated throughout the building,[5] giving employees the opportunity to see a variety of images since their movements are monitored and constrained.


Lumon’s Core Principles

There are nine Core Principles, intended to unite the company’s workforce. They are:

  1. Vision
  2. Verve
  3. Wit
  4. Cheer
  5. Humility
  6. Benevolence
  7. Nimbleness

According to the copy of the handbook smuggled out by a former employee included in Severance: The Lexington Letter, the principles are meant to overlap and intertwine, emphasizing good social skills to promote the idea that the company is a family.

Outside the company walls, the power and practices of Lumon Industries are politically controversial.
