# The 30 largest multinational companies in Barcelona

Tamtam tracks 363 multinational companies headquartered in Barcelona. This list ranks the 30 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Glovo, Stradivarius and SEIDOR. Their median headcount is 2,947. Half of them were founded in 1983 or later.

These multinational companies in Barcelona are primarily large and mid-sized firms, spanning diverse sectors such as technology, retail, education, and manufacturing. Noteworthy examples include Glovo, an on-demand delivery service; Stradivarius, a global fashion brand; Roca Group, a manufacturer of bathroom solutions; and Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, an online university. The presence of significant educational institutions like Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya also highlights the city's role as a knowledge hub.

A recurring pattern among these companies is their global reach, with many operating across multiple continents. This is exemplified by companies like Gas Natural Fenosa, which serves over 20 million customers worldwide, and Wall Street English, providing English language education globally. The list also shows a mix of established companies founded in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, such as Damm and Roca Group, alongside more recent ventures like Glovo and FIRMA.

## 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.
