Frequently asked questions
Which company in East Flanders has the highest revenue?
Barry Callebaut Belgium NV, with €6.57bn in published revenue (financial year 2025).
Why does this ranking differ from other lists?

Why are some companies missing?
Small companies (micro and abridged accounts) do not have to publish their revenue: only the 4,248 that publish it are ranked.
