Overview[]
Spacely Space Sprockets' main building in Orbit City
Spacely Space Sprockets, Inc. was founded by Cosmo G. Spacely who also serves as the company's president and CEO, with his main goal being to make as much money as possible by any means. The company is primarily a tech and capital goods manufacturer dealing mainly in sprockets, machines and heavy equipment, but because of the ambitions of the company's president, Spacely Space Sprockets also dabbles in many other business ventures which range from robotics to foodstuffs and even dancing girls.
Their main corporate office is located in Orbit City and also serves as their main factory, but they have recently decide to pursue extra-planetary ventures, having established an asteroid-based mining colony and factory known as Spacely's Orbiting Ore Asteroid.

President[]
- “Every second lost means money lost. And money lost means I scream a lot!”
- ―Cosmo G. Spacely
Cosmo G. Spacely, president of Spacely Space Sprockets, Inc.
Cosmo G. Spacely is the president and owner of Spacely Space Sprockets, Inc., who seeks to make his company the #1 sprocket and tech company in the market and rub his success in the face of his longtime rival, Spencer W.C. Cogswell, the president of Cogswell Cosmic Cogs, Inc.. Spacely is a ruthless and opportunistic tycoon who will do or sell anything to get ahead. He has little tolerance for his employees, especially George Jetson with whom he shares a complicated relationship that is often either hostile or friendly depending on his mood, even allowing George to serve as his vice-president when needed.
Board of Directors[]
Spacely's Board of Directors
The Board of Directors of Spacely's Space Sprockets are the top executives of Spacely Space Sprockets, Inc. serving directly under Cosmo G. Spacely. The group is mostly made up of elderly men and one female representative, all of whom Spacely tries to keep satisfied whenever possible.

Divisions & Subsidiaries[]
Spacely's Orbiting Ore Asteroid
- Spacely's Orbiting Ore Asteroid - An off-world branch factory and mining colony that also houses the Intergalactic Garden Estates residential community. The factory mostly mined ore from asteroids for the production of brand new interstellar sprockets, but unbeknownst to many, the first asteroid used for the facility was in fact inhabited by intelligent alien lifeforms known as the "Grungees" whose homeworld was being destroyed by the constant mining, forcing them to sabotage the factory and causing Mr. Spacely many losses. After promoting Mr. Jetson to the head of the Spacely's Orbiting Ore Asteroid, Jetson and his family eventually discovered the existence of the Grungees and forced Mr. Spacely to cease all mining at once. The Grungees were willing to compromise though by being given free reign over the factory and being allowed to continue producing sprockets, but this time doing so by recycling old sprockets to manufacture news, leaving their home safe from harm while also boosting company profits.
- Spacely's Sprockets Cookie Division - A confectionery division of the company which originally produced the company's sprocket-themed Spacely Cookies, but after a mishap in the division's automatic production line which caused the cookies to taste terrible, Mr. Spacely had the division shift its focus, with the division now being used to instead produce Spacely Dog Cookies which proved surprisingly popular with dogs, and Spacely even putting Mr. Jetson in charge of the division due to his close bond with his family dog Astro.
- Spacely Security Division - Automated security system service used in Spacely's industry.
- Spacely Research & Development - The research division of the company.
- Sales Branch on Outer Moongolia - The company's sales department on the far off planet of Outer Moongolia which is where Spacely sends his most loathed employees. The planet is greatly disliked due to being out in the middle of nowhere and for being inhabited by invisible aliens.

- Nebulous Nifty - A company that manufactures all sorts of useful appliances, gadgets and other amazing contraptions which are all unfortunately prone to self-destructing.
