There is also a Portuguese East India Company.  The Dutch one (the
Vereenigde Oost-indische Compagnie - VOC [United East Indian Company])
was chartered in 1602, and I'm afraid I don't know when/if it ceased to
be a company.

The best place online I've found to start looking for VOC information is
the Atlas of Mutual Heritage: http://www.nationaalarchief.nl/AMH/

But I think you are looking for something called the 'East India Pickle
Company' rather than the 'East India Company'.

Best wishes,

Pat
