# The 50 largest pharmaceutical companies in Spain

Tamtam tracks 127 pharmaceutical companies headquartered in Spain. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Grifols, Insud Pharma and Werfen. Their median headcount is 806. Half of them were founded in 1963 or later. The most common headquarters are Barcelona (13), Madrid (10) and Sant Cugat del Vallès (3).

The companies listed here are primarily large pharmaceutical manufacturing firms operating in Spain, many with a global presence. They specialize in developing and marketing a wide range of medicinal products, from plasma-derived medicines and APIs to dermatology solutions and animal health vaccines. Examples include Grifols, a global healthcare company specializing in plasma-derived medicines; Insud Pharma, focused on APIs and biotech solutions; and Almirall, a biopharmaceutical company in medical dermatology.

Most of these companies are well-established, with several founded in the early to mid-20th century, such as Grifols (1909), Laboratorios Normon (1937), and ESTEVE (1929). A notable pattern is the concentration of headquarters in the Madrid and Barcelona areas, indicating key hubs for the pharmaceutical industry in Spain. While the majority are pharmaceutical manufacturers, Werfen stands out as a medical equipment manufacturer, and TRADEBE provides environmental 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 12, 2026.
