Ohlthaver & List is the largest privately held group of companies in Namibia, begun in Windhoek in 1919 as a partnership between Hermann Ohlthaver and Carl List. It employs around 5,560 people across twelve operating companies in eight sectors and puts its own share of Namibian GDP at roughly two per cent. Its consumer businesses are Namibia Dairies, the meat processor Hartlief, the Walvis Bay seafood company Hangana and the Model supermarket chain. The brewer it founded in 1920 and listed in 1996, Namibia Breweries, was sold to Heineken in 2023, so Windhoek Lager and Tafel Lager are no longer its brands.
