Tamtam tracks 55 multinational companies headquartered in Petaling Jaya. This list ranks the 30 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Sime Darby, GAMUDA and Sunway Group. Their median headcount is 984. Half of them were founded in 1984 or later.

The companies listed here are primarily large, established firms based in Petaling Jaya, with a strong presence in traditional sectors. Many are diversified conglomerates, often with roots stretching back to the early 20th century. Sime Darby, for example, is an investment management firm driving sustainable value, while GAMUDA is a regional engineering and property company specializing in infrastructure development. Sunway Group operates across real estate, construction, education, and healthcare, and EY Technology Solutions provides global SAP consulting and cloud solutions. SD Guthrie Berhad is a leading producer of certified sustainable palm oil.

The recurring presence of entities like Sime Darby, SD Guthrie Berhad, and Sime Darby Plantation, all founded around 1910 and active in investment management, farming, and palm oil production, suggests a common historical origin and a network of related businesses.

## 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.
