Most companies do not survive for more than 40 to 50 years. Besides that, the average lifespan of a company is going down in the last decades.

But some of them have been around for many centuries, or even more than a millennium! Generations and generations of family members dedicating their lives to pushing a business forward through time. And in some of these companies it is not just the owners that have been working in it for many generations. Some staff positions within the company have been occupied by members of the same family, passing it on from parent, to child, to grandchild.

As you can imagine, it is not smart phones or air planes that these companies produce. Instead, most of the oldest companies on earth serve the basic needs of mankind: eating, drinking, housing or self defence.
