# The 50 largest companies in Stavanger
Tamtam tracks 71 companies headquartered in Stavanger. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Equinor, Statoil and Aibel. Their median headcount is 257. Half of them were founded in 1987 or later.
The largest companies in Stavanger are predominantly established mid-sized to large firms, with a strong concentration in the oil and gas sector. Key players include Equinor, which develops oil, gas, wind, and solar energy, and Aibel, specializing in infrastructure construction and maintenance for the energy industry. Other significant employers are Stavanger kommune, providing local government services, and Lyse, an energy and telecom group focused on renewable energy and broadband.
A notable pattern among these companies is their deep engagement with the energy sector, particularly oil and gas, reflecting Stavanger's role as Norway's energy capital. Beyond energy, there is also a presence of public services and specialized manufacturing, such as Laerdal Medical, a global leader in healthcare education, and Skretting, which provides nutritional solutions for aquaculture.

## 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 11, 2026.
