Frequently asked questions
Which is the largest employer in Residential care activities in West Flanders?
Among companies, CURANDO O.L.V. van 7 Weeën Ruiselede, with 1,107 full-time equivalents reported (financial year 2025).
Are all the jobs located in the area?

Why does this ranking differ from other lists?
It uses each company's annual accounts as filed with the National Bank, not consolidated group accounts. A holding, a subsidiary or a purchasing entity can therefore appear separately. Only companies whose latest accounts are less than 3 years old are ranked.
