Wikipedia has 26 entries before 1300, the article only 6. Notably (the only one I'd heard of) Wikipedia claims the Affligem brewery started in 1074.
- DougBTX 18y agoApparently the author of the article did not read it before writing the title. It is a list of the 100 oldest family businesses. From the first paragraph: "Below there's a list of world's top 100 oldest companies that represent family business."
