# The 33 largest chemical companies in Denmark

Tamtam tracks 33 chemical companies headquartered in Denmark. This list ranks all of them by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Hempel A/S, Novozymes and Topsoe. Their median headcount is 333. Half of them were founded in 1958 or later. The most common headquarters are Aalborg (2).

The chemical companies in Denmark listed here include both large groups and mid-sized firms. Their activities range from specialized chemical production to broader material science. Hempel A/S supplies protective coatings, Novozymes provides enzymatic and microbial biosolutions, Topsoe focuses on energy transition technologies, and Chr. Hansen develops natural ingredient solutions. These companies demonstrate a strong emphasis on sustainability and specialized applications across various sectors.

A notable pattern is the concentration of headquarters in the greater Copenhagen area, including Kgs. Lyngby, Bagsværd, Hørsholm, and Rødovre. While some companies like Faerch Group and Fibertex Nonwovens A/S are located elsewhere, the majority of the larger firms on this list are situated around the capital, indicating a regional hub for chemical and biotechnology innovation.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 13, 2026.
