Companies Founded in 1985

7 profiled companies were founded in 1985. The largest by latest full-year revenue is Inditex, S.A., at about $45 billion for 2025, followed by Qualcomm Inc. at about $44.3 billion for 2025.

No two of these companies report the same industry; they cover 7 different ones.

Headquarters-country data is available for 6 of these 7 companies. The largest country groups are USA (5) and UK (1).

Every figure above comes from the company profiles linked below, where each revenue number carries its fiscal year and source. Run-rates are never used as annual revenue, and revenue reported in other currencies is converted to US dollars at approximate 2025 average rates, so treat the comparison as an order of scale rather than an exact gap.
