Oh, all right. Here's everything in my own words.

The Magog Cartel is the industrial corporation run by the Glukkons. Its goal: to make as much Moolah as possible through whatever means are necessary. Headed by the ferocious Lady Margaret and represented by General Molluck, this far-flung enterprise produces a wide catalogue of over-priced goods, everything from malnutricional junk food (Scrab Cakes, Paramite Pies etc.) and blubber-based fuels (FlubCo Fat Fuels) to highly toxic alcohols (SoulStorm Brew, SoulStorm Flail Ale etc.) and commercial appliances (FeeCo Fat Vats, Eyestitch etc.). The Magog Cartel is divided into many companies that each make their own profits, but ultimately serve the Cartel.

Working in close association with the Chroniclers, the Glukkons are a very low grade family. While other corporations on Oddworld may choose to develop high-quality delicacies and elegant transport, the Cartel would rather serve up fattening fast foods and supply dirty mechanical equipment. I imagine that only the lower-class Khanzumerz, if such a thing exists, would dare be seen purchasing goods from the Magog Cartel. However, this doesn't stop their products from being very popular, even if the companies behind them aren't.

However, long ago, when the Glukkons were first entering the industrial society of Oddworld, they had different plans - high-quality goods and inexpensive prices. It may seem difficult to imagine how the Glukkons have arrived from that to the work-ethics they hold today, but it was a long process - the Glukkons are said to 'slip another rung down the corporate ladder with every generation'.
