And do the users from Company A need to have access to other company ressources ?
If you just need another UPN suffix, you can simply add this within Active Directory Domains and Trusts > right-click on the root (Active Directory Domains and Trusts) > Properties and then add the new UPN suffix (see the screenshot attached).
Change the UPN suffix for all the users concerned (add this new company in a new OU), and apply this change to all the users concerned within this OU (with PowerShell if there is a lot of users).
Then users will be able to connect through username@testabc.local.

For the UPN change :
You'll have to change the part in with the OU and the new UPN where @testabc.local is located.
Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase 'ou=nonAdmins,ou=User,ou=Administration,dc=do,dc=local' -Properties userPrincipalName | foreach { Set-ADUser $_ -UserPrincipalName "$($_.samaccountname)@testabc.local"}

just to clearly:
all users are connected to the same data center
the only important thing is: to split the logon domain name
and to have more flax ability with gpo.

membership
This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
What is the specific reason of this change ? To be honest, there is no reason that you should change you internal domain since, if you need to proceed, you'll have to rebuild a complete Forest.
It will affect all of your environment.
I really don't recommend it.
