Pour le français, je suggère :

"La fabrique des illusions"

I do not know your purpose but you should be very careful. Names tend
to get deposited. And your Illusion Factory rings a bell. I would not
be surprised that a similar name do already exists.

Maybe you could tell us what does your company make (services/products) ?

 This would rely deeply on the topic of your company.
 Having less words than english (10 to 1) and even less than german
(about the half) French is heavily depending on context.
 Not only the surrounding context but also the usage and other
stuff that I won't discuss here as it'd be OT for your search and
would anyway be flamed by some and praised by even kooker ones ;-)

 Anyway, some examples now, related to your request :

If your company is :

General mainstream stuff (napkins, forks)
 La Fabrique des Illusions

a Media company :
 Télé Visions

Paintings, Performances, Music-Hall :
 La Fabrique aux Illusions
 La Maison des Illusions

Special condoms :
 Your Babies'R Us

 Well, I'll stop now, leave some room for contributors :-)

La empresa no de nada.

Portugese: FÁBRICA DE ILUSÕES

I don't really understand why you would like to translate your company
name, as company names are nearly never translated, but here's the
Finnish translation for you:
Unelmatehdas (one word).

In Spanish I would probably use something like la Fábrica de
Ilusiones, but be careful with trademark issues, as I've just seen in
Google that there is a website with the same name in Spain.

Illusion Factory = Fábrica de Ilusões in Portuguese. It is difficult
though to provide an accurate translation out of context.

IllusionFACTORY means Ãλù¤³§(Simplified Chinese) or ‰ô»Ã¹¤S (Traditional
Chinese)

In Polish it is:
FABRYKAIluzji
