Funtom Corporation (ファントム社, Fantomu sha) is an immensely popular and highly technologically advanced company owned by Ciel Phantomhive. It is not only the leading confection and toy manufacturer in Great Britain, but in the entire world.

The company headquarters are located in 101 Brompton, London.

Overview

Funtom Corporation is a prosperous enterprise, strongly supported by the wealthy and bourgeoisie. When Funtom Corporation was first brought attention to, its size and reputation swiftly grew, and it became greatly distinguished in a little under three years. Its factories are located all over England; one of them is in Yorkshire. After establishing itself in Great Britain, the corporation has since branched out; for example, it has a branch in Germany.

Funtom Corporation specializes in original novelties reportedly unseen before by other classes. Its products, ranging from candies to toys, are especially enrapturing to children. Harold West Jeb had dubbed it "the candy king."

Aside from confections and toys, Funtom Corporation also has at least some ventures in cosmetics as well, namely perfume.

After winning a Royal Warrant at the Curry Fair in December 1888, Funtom Corporation has opened up a food branch, the branch's main product being the curry bun invented by Sebastian Michaelis. By October 1889, Funtom Corporation has also delved into the theater business by opening the Funtom Music Hall.

As of March 1889, Ciel has been in talks with Roze Company, the largest company in the diamond industry, to start a jewelry venture together as Funtom Corporation possesses some of the world's leading technology. However, the murder of Steiger Roze, the company's autocratic president, put the plan on a temporary hold.

Furthermore, Funtom Corporation secretly manufactures weapons. Ciel considered mass producing Maxim guns; Baldroy advised him not to go ahead with this plan yet as, after testing the weapon, he realized that it still lacks precision.
