I've been told that the translation of the following sentence:

１００年以上続く古い会社なんで不便もたまにあります

is: This company has been established for more than 100 years, so it is
sometimes inconvenient with many things.

I understand both parts of the sentence, but I don't get the connection なんで.
Not even in the dictionary says that なんで's meaning is "so". The only meaning
of なんで I know is "why?" but here it makes no sense.

Thank you

question
meaning
What is the meaning of なんで here and why?
In this sentence, なんで is a contraction of なので. Not the same thing as the usual
なんで which is used in questions like なんで食べない？.

なので means **so** (expressing consequence).

```

    cause なので consequence
    cause なんで consequence
    
```

`なんで` is more casual, but not as casual as だから.
