IFMU is short for "Internationale Fahrzeug- und Maschinen-Union AG" (International Vehicle and Machine Union). It was a German A-rated corporation headquartered in Munich. IFMU faced many problems during the 2050ies and almost collapsed in 2057 but recovered by means of downsizing and streamlining (after the Corp War IFMU was downgraded from AA to A status). IFMU's end came in 2065: First the Württemberg Chamber of Commerce sold its shares (16%) to compensate financial problems. Then Cross Applied Technologies got rid of its shares (9%) due to increasing global pressure by Ares and FBV. In the end three majority shareholders remained: Proteus, FBV and Saeder-Krupp. After months of tensions caused by the enmity of FBV and S-K the situation was solved by disassembly of IFMU.
