Mixom or Mixom Tools is a fictional company from the video game Doom 3, where it is shown as a provider of several different technical tools, devices and office furniture. In game it is revealed Mixom mis-shipped a bunch of chainsaws to Mars in place of the required jackhammers; this explains how the chainsaws actually reached the UAC base. In an e-mail in Doom 3, the Mixom website is mentioned as Mixom.co.jp, but the link is dead.

Telephones - Looking closely in some cutscenes the player may be able to see the Mixom logo on phones around the UAC base. It is on the side and is easy to see. It also occurs on doors, some computer terminals, and other devices about the UAC base. There's also a news reel that plays on a TV early in the game (before all hell breaks loose) about Mixom and rival company Moxim suing each another for various reasons (trademark infringement, strangely, isn't mentioned). The Mixom logo, reversed, corresponds to the Moxim logo, and the player can see codes like "Mixom0080" or similars on doors, which reverse to things like "0800moxiM".
