Nothing has been established here about the company itself — when it started, whether it is still trading, what else it does. This catalogue records credits on films, and a company history is a different kind of fact needing a different kind of source. That work has not reached this house.

A conversion house on a native shoot is not a contradiction: films are converted in part, re-rendered from their original models, or given a second eye for shots the rig could not reach. This is the split across the five films above, counted rather than characterised.

A source often names more than one house on a film. The middle column is what the source actually published, kept word for word, because a value split into parts for the purpose of building an index is a reading of the source rather than the source.
