Their median headcount is 353. Half of them were founded in 1963 or later. The most common headquarters are Berlin (2) and Düsseldorf (2).

The mining companies in Germany on this list are mostly mid-sized to large firms, with a focus on steel production and industrial minerals. thyssenkrupp Steel is a flat carbon steel producer, K+S Group supplies mineral products for agriculture and industry, while voestalpine Böhler Welding specializes in welding solutions. Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH manufactures a wide range of steel products and TRIMET Aluminium SE develops and recycles aluminium light-metal products.

A notable pattern among these companies is the concentration of headquarters in industrial regions of Germany, particularly around the Ruhr area and Saarland. This suggests a strong regional presence for steel and mining-related industries. The list also includes companies with a global reach, such as Minera Alumbrera, a mining company in Argentina operated by Glencore plc.

## 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.
