Built from the top of each country's register, not from one global sort: the global sort returns placeholder revenues. Revenue and headcount are those on the parent record. A parent that files one legal entity's headcount ranks by revenue only and carries a tag.

Stellantis is the biggest employer in the Benelux with 248,243 staff; Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize follows with 83,773. Only 73 companies in the Benelux employ 10,000 people or more.

A company with 200,000+ employees is ranked only when its group holds 50+ companies and turns over $20 billion+; this removes register records with implausible headcounts.

Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize has 4,235 companies in its group, more than any other of the Benelux's largest companies. Nobody else publishes this ranking: the largest corporate families by the number of legal entities they control.
