Tamtam tracks 50 family-owned companies headquartered in the Hérault department. This list ranks the 30 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by ALTRAD, ORCHESTRA and AdVini. Their median headcount is 68. Half of them were founded in 1971 or later. The most common headquarters are Montpellier (10) and Béziers (2).

These family-owned companies in Hérault are primarily mid-sized firms, with a few larger groups like ALTRAD, a global provider of industrial services with 52,000 employees. Other notable companies include ORCHESTRA, a children's clothing brand; AdVini, a leading French company in terroir wines; and Union-Matériaux, which distributes construction materials.

## 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.
