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.
