In context

We hold 15 other automotive industry companies founded in the 1880s. 12 of them have closed, after a median of 75 years, and 3 have no closure recorded.

Counted across this directory, from founding and closing years in public records. Medians cover only companies whose closure is recorded; a company with no closure date may have quietly ceased without the record catching it.
