# The 28 largest corporate groups and holding companies in Ecuador

Tamtam tracks 28 corporate groups and holding companies headquartered in Ecuador. This list ranks all of them by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Pronaca, Corporacion Favorita C.A. and Municipio de Quito. Their median headcount is 836. Half of them were founded in 1969 or later. The most common headquarters are Guayaquil (13), Quito (10) and Cuenca (2).

These Ecuadorian companies are primarily large groups, many of which have been established for several decades. They operate across diverse sectors, including food and beverage, retail, and manufacturing. Noteworthy examples include Pronaca, an Ecuadorian company promoting agricultural development and quality food, and Corporacion Favorita C.A., a retail leader with self-service stores.

Other significant entities include Grupo DIFARE, a pharmaceutical group promoting health and well-being, and Agripac S.A., focused on agriculture, aquaculture, and animal health. Industrias Ales C.A. produces consumer and industrial products, while Xtrim is a telecommunications corporate group. A notable pattern is the concentration of headquarters in two major cities: Quito and Guayaquil.

## 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.
