Anglo-Belgian India Rubber Company
The Anglo-Belgian India Rubber Company, known as ABIR, was a company founded in 1892 that received a concession for rubber in the Lopori and Maringa basins of the Congo Free State, where the state held a large share. It enforced rubber quotas through armed sentries, hostage-taking and killings, becoming one of the most notorious agents of the Congo atrocities until the state took over its concession in 1906.
