The most amazing company so far is General Electric. It is the only surviving company since the creation of Dow Jones Industrial Index in 1896 although it was out from the index in ~1900 for a few years.
Procter & Gamble Company, Honeywell, AT&T, Du Pont and General Motors are also pretty amazing too.
Bear in mind the above companies went through 2nd world war and whatever wars,1929 great depression and many crashes along the way.
For some of them, they went through 1st world war too.
For those that are interested on the companies that are ever in the index till 2003.

The key characteristic in the group seems to be technology.
One of the evergreen that failed along the way is Kodak Eastman because of their refusal to adopt new technology.
