Cartel seat (monument)

A cartel seat, in the sense used for historic monuments, was the headquarters or another main premises of a cartel, a group of formally cooperating and sometimes rival businesses, many of which no longer exist. Such cartels were often organized as syndicates, an advanced form of business combination built around a shared sales agency, and their buildings housed secretariats, meeting rooms, sales offices, advertising departments and research divisions. A number of these historic cartel buildings still stand today in Europe and the United States.
