One way would be to concatenate if Company Name is in A1.
=CONCATENATE("The best company is ",Sheet1!A1," based in San Jose.")
The best company is Smith Printing based in San Jose.

The best way is to use the & to connect strings

="My Company Name is " & Sheet1!A1

="Company " & Sheet1!A1 & "owes " & Sheet1!B2 & " Dollars"

Assuming "pages" are worksheets, you would need linking formulas in all
cells in which you would want the company name inserted.

="This is coming to you from " & Sheet1!A1 & " which is a great company"

To insert a text string into existing text strings would require VBA
