Not a company, but a pretty "big" installation, I guess: French Caisse
Nationale des Allocations Familiales (welfare agency) is running on
PostgreSQL:

123 local offices all over France
11 million families and 30 million people as "customers"
69 bio EUR annual turnover
168 databases, 4TB all databases together, largest database is 250 GB
1 bio SQL statements a day

Sincerely,

Wolfgang
