The largest companies in Romania by turnover are concentrated in energy, food retail and car manufacturing, with two banks also in the top 20. This list ranks the 20 Romanian-registered companies with the highest net turnover in 2025, using figures that the National Trade Register Office (ONRC) supplied to the business publication Economedia, published on 13 July 2026.
OMV Petrom leads with turnover of RON 30.83bn (about 30.8 billion lei), followed by Automobile Dacia (RON 29.92bn) and Lidl Discount (RON 26.66bn). Seventeen of the 20 companies increased their turnover in 2025.
Unlike rankings of national groups, this list covers individual legal entities. Several of the largest companies are Romanian subsidiaries of foreign groups, and two groups, OMV Petrom and Rompetrol, each appear twice through separately registered companies.

Composition of the ranking
Energy is the largest sector in the top 20, with seven companies: OMV Petrom, OMV Petrom Marketing, Rompetrol Rafinare, Rompetrol Downstream, Lukoil România, MOL România Petroleum Products and Hidroelectrica. Retail and wholesale contribute eight: Lidl, Kaufland, Carrefour, Dedeman, Dr. Max, Mega Image, Metro and REWE (Penny). Three are automotive manufacturers or suppliers (Dacia, Ford Otosan and Star Assembly), and two are banks (Banca Transilvania and BCR).
The 20 companies together recorded turnover of about RON 325 billion in 2025. The cut-off for the top 20 was about RON 9.3bn.
Compared with the previous year's top ten, Lidl moved up from fourth to third and Banca Transilvania entered the top ten, while Profi Rom Food, eighth in the 2024 top ten, is absent from this year's ONRC ranking.
Methodology
Entries are the 20 companies with the highest net turnover (cifra de afaceri) for 2025 in the ranking provided by the National Trade Register Office (Oficiul Național al Registrului Comerțului, ONRC) at Economedia's request, in ONRC's order. Figures are those filed by the companies and are shown in Romanian lei, as published; no currency conversion has been applied.
The ranking covers individual registered companies, not consolidated groups, so a group with several Romanian subsidiaries can appear more than once, and turnover earned outside Romania by foreign parents is excluded. The ONRC ranking includes credit institutions; their "net turnover" is a measure defined by banking regulations and is not directly comparable with that of non-financial companies.
Profi Rom Food. The supermarket chain Profi does not appear in the ONRC ranking. According to Ministry of Finance data cited by Economedia, its 2025 turnover was RON 14.48bn (2024: RON 14.13bn), which would place it between Rompetrol Downstream and Carrefour România. It is not included in the numbered list because it is absent from the source ranking.
No Romanian company appears in the Fortune 500 Europe 2026, which is why a national registry source is used here.
