These family-owned companies in Doubs primarily operate in manufacturing, particularly in motor vehicle parts and luxury goods, alongside construction and retail. DELFINGEN specializes in automotive on-board networks, Groupe Chopard distributes vehicles across Eastern France, EIMI GROUPE focuses on energy efficiency services, and Zurflüh-Feller designs exterior building closure components. Maison Jean Rousseau crafts luxury leather goods, and HERBELIN produces elegant timepieces. Many of these firms are well-established, with several founded in the mid-20th century.
A notable pattern among these companies is their strong presence in the automotive sector, both in manufacturing components and vehicle distribution. Another cluster is visible in luxury goods, with companies like Maison Jean Rousseau, Groupe SILVANT, and HERBELIN. While headquarters are spread across the department, Besançon emerges as a frequent location for several firms.

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.
