This selection of large companies includes major distributors and wholesalers from various sectors. Many operate in retail and food distribution, such as Atacadão, which supplies businesses and consumers in Brazil, and METRO/MAKRO, serving hotels, restaurants, and independent traders with food and non-food assortments. Other significant players include Saint-Gobain, distributing building materials, and Cardinal Health, which handles pharmaceuticals and healthcare supplies globally. These firms are generally established, with several founded in the mid-20th century or earlier.
The companies listed are diverse in their geographical focus, with headquarters located across several continents. For instance, Greencap is a diversified Australian corporation, DKSH operates globally from Zurich, and Jerónimo Martins manages retail chains in Europe and Colombia. The presence of multiple Brazilian companies like Atacadão and Assaí Atacadista highlights a concentration of large-scale wholesale and retail operations in that country.

Tamtam finds the decision-makers at every company on a list like this one, with verified emails, phone numbers and the buying signals that tell you when to reach out.
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.
