List of oldest companies

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

This list of the oldest companies in the world includes brands and companies, excluding associations and educational, government, or religious organizations. To be listed, a brand or company name must remain operating, either in whole or in part, since inception. Note however that such claims are often open to question and should be researched further before one cites any of them.

Statistics[edit]

According to a report published by the Bank of Korea in 2008 that looked at 41 countries, there were 5,586 companies older than 200 years. Of these, 3,146 (56%) are in Japan, 837 (15%) in Germany, 222 (4%) in the Netherlands, and 196 (3%) in France.[1] Of the companies with more than 100 years of history, most of them (89%) employ fewer than 300 people.[1][2]

A nationwide Japanese survey counted more than 21,000 companies older than 100 years as of September 30, 2009.[3]

Founded before 1300[edit]
