In 2018, 1,505 companies had been recorded as being established in Amiens, including 1,206 companies owned by [[Sole proprietorship|sole proprietors]].<ref name=complet/>

[[Philately|Philatelic]] publishers [[Yvert et Tellier]] (catalogues of quotes) and ''[[l'Écho de la timbrologie]]'' (magazine) have their management in Amiens, even if they have more of their services in the Paris region. The [[Gueudet]] Group, one of the largest car dealers in France, was established at Amiens in 1918. The old textile tradition of the city remains with the factory of [[Lee Cooper]] France (122 employees).

Since the end of [[World War II]], much of the city's economy was tied to automotive equipment with companies such as [[Valeo]], [[Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company|Goodyear]] and [[Sumitomo Group|Sumitomo]]-[[Dunlop Tyres|Dunlop]] tires. In 2003, the American Goodyear company bought Dunlop. These two companies suffered financially through late 2007 and early 2008, and in response, the American Goodyear company headquarters in the United States offered workers a change to their working hours and the number of posts, which a high percentage of staff refused.

[[Procter & Gamble]], settled in Amiens in 1964 to produce soap, and inaugurated its new detergents unit in 1966. Established on over more than {{convert|45|ha|acre}}, it is one of the largest factories in the world for laundry cleaning products ([[Ariel (detergent)|Ariel]], Dash, Bonux, Gama) and for domestic cleaning products ([[Mr. Clean]], [[Febreze]]). More than 85% of its production is intended for export.

The Amiens plant employs approximately 930 people.

Since the mid-1990s, the city has tried to convert the economy towards the internet and telephony industries. Many [[call centre]]s (Intracall center, Coriolis France, [[Médiamétrie]])<ref>Insee, ''Picardie : diagnostic et perspectives'', chapitre ''Dynamiques économiques'', p.36, 2006.</ref> have opened mainly within the city, region or state. The Unilog (now [[Logica]]) computer service company has installed a service center in Amiens (the CSA).
