=* may be used to specify the company type of a map feature that belongs to a company or a business enterprise. (Company)

This key requires the tag office=company.

If the company is an industrial company, some mappers use the secondary tag industrial=* in addition with the tag office=company and the key =* but it seems redondant in most cases (for example office=company, company=logistics and industrial=warehouse seems redondant with the better tagging office=logistics and building=warehouse).

Used in combination

To describe companies, the following keys can be used in combination or alternative:
