# The 27 largest family-owned companies in Berlin

Tamtam tracks 27 family-owned companies headquartered in Berlin. This list ranks all of them by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Axel Springer, Storck and Dussmann. Their median headcount is 285. Half of them were founded in 1963 or later.

This selection of family-owned companies in Berlin highlights a mix of well-established businesses and some founded more recently. Key players include Axel Springer, a media company delivering information through brands like BILD and POLITICO, and Storck, a global chocolate and confectionery company. Dussmann offers integrated facility management and food services, while De Gruyter Brill is a prominent publisher in humanities.

The list also features RSG Group GmbH, operating global fitness studios, and Beckers Group, which produces environmentally friendly paint systems.

## 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 12, 2026.
