# 50 leading multinational companies in Gelderland

Tamtam tracks 194 multinational companies headquartered in Gelderland. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Nexperia, Wageningen University & Research and TenneT. Their median headcount is 849. Half of them were founded in 1962 or later. The most common headquarters are Nijmegen (9), Apeldoorn (7) and Arnhem (5).

These are large multinational companies in Gelderland. The selection includes companies with a strong focus on manufacturing and agriculture, alongside significant players in retail and services. Nexperia, for example, is a global semiconductor company, while Wageningen University & Research is dedicated to education and research in food and living environments. ALDI Nederland operates in retail, and Royal De Heus is a family-owned company specializing in animal nutrition products.

A notable characteristic of these companies is their international reach. Many, like TenneT, a European grid operator, and Kramp, Europe's largest specialist in agricultural spare parts, have extensive operations beyond the Netherlands. This highlights a concentration of globally oriented businesses within the region, spanning diverse sectors from advanced technology to traditional agriculture and essential services.

## 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.
