This
list of the oldest companies includes brands
and companies, excluding associations,
educational,
government or religious organizations. To be listed, a
brand or
company name must
remain, either in whole or in part, since inception. If the
original name has subsequently changed due to acquisition or
renaming, this must be verifiable.
In 2009, Japanese survey firm,
Tokyo Shoko Research, searched the
years of foundation of 1,975,620 firms in their
database. They found 21,666 companies which have

According to the Bank of Korea, there are 837 companies lasting
over 200 years in Germany
, 222 in
the
Netherlands
and 196 in
France
. 89.4 per cent of the companies with over
