There are not a lot of companies that directly use avro. They will
most likely use a system that uses avro.

If you're looking for companies, then you're looking for systems that
the companies make or use thinks like:

Apache Spark
Apache Hadoop
Apache Kafka
Apache Hive
Apache Drill
Snowflake
Presto
Google Big table

Here is a link of the usages of avro. You'll see a ton of things.
