# Corporate groups and holding companies headquartered in the Netherlands

Tamtam tracks 235 corporate groups and holding companies headquartered in the Netherlands. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Nederlandse Spoorwegen, Prosus and Alliander. Their median headcount is 2,153. Half of them were founded in 1933 or later. The most common headquarters are Utrecht (7), Rotterdam (4) and Arnhem (3).

This selection of corporate groups and holding companies in the Netherlands includes major players in various sectors. Among them are Nederlandse Spoorwegen, a key public transportation provider; Prosus, a global consumer internet group; Alliander, an energy network company distributing gas and electricity; and VDL Groep, an international industrial company. These entities represent a mix of established corporations and some more recently formed groups.

A notable pattern among these large corporate groups is the strong presence of utilities and infrastructure companies. For instance, TenneT, Boskalis, and Stedin are prominent, indicating a focus on essential services and large-scale engineering projects. Headquarters are distributed across various Dutch cities, including Utrecht, Amsterdam, Arnhem, and Eindhoven, rather than being concentrated in one urban center.

## 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.
