Maxwell Conglomerate, commonly known as Maxwell, is a Fallish multinational conglomerate corporation headquartered in Sydenham, Falland. As a global technology company, it operates as one of the world's largest manufacturers of consumer and professional electronic products. Maxwell is also the X largest video game console company and the X largest video game publisher through Maxwell Interactive Entertainment. Additionally, it is one of the largest music companies and the X largest film studio, making it one of the most comprehensive media companies.

The corporation was established by Thomas Maxwell in 1953 as the Exmouth Electronics Company (EEC). This company was known throughout eatern Falland by the end of the 1950s for creating products such as transistor radios most notably the EX-59 in 1959, video tape recorders like the HVR-M11 in 1964, and televisions such as the Megavision 3000 in 1972. By the mid-1970s, EEC products had penetrated into the wider Calesian market and had became well known through out the continent. In 1979, Thomas Maxwell died suddenly in a car accident and the company was renamed to Maxwell in his honour. In the following decades, Maxwell embarked on diverse business ventures, including the acquisition of numerous other companies including Milston Pictures Entertainment & Industries (now Maxwell Pictures Entertainment) in 1982, and Stewart Games (now Maxwell Interactive Entertainment) in 1986; as well as new lines of products such as the portable audio player PMB in 1983, the personal computer MaxCom Prime in 1988, and the video game console PlayBox 1 in 1991.

By the end of the 1990s. Maxwell had became an internationally recognised brand, with foreign branches in Yingok, the Free States, Nadauro, and numerous other countries. The corporation continued expanding well into the 2000s, planting itself into finance with Maxwell Financial Holdings in 1999, and music with the Maxwell Music Group in 2002. In 2013, differences between the agendas of the Maxwell Group of Elia Borealis and the rest of Maxwell led to the Maxwell Schism which saw the Elia Borealian branch of the corporation split off as the NeriCo Corporation.

In recent years, the corporation has faced controversies regarding its poor employee working conditions and unethical labour practices. In the present day, Maxwell comprises entities such as Maxwell Electronics Group, Maxwell Pictures Entertainment, Maxwell Interactive Entertainment, Maxwell Financial Holdings, Maxwell Music Group, and Maxwell Ventures. The corporation is listed on the Sydenham Stock Exchange as 2391 and was ranked highly on the 2021 X Global 500 as well as the 2023 X Global 2000.
