Is who the right choice ?
I don't think so. "Who/Whom" is basically used for referring to a living being - human. You can use "which" to refer to a company.

The company, which is opposite to park, is closed today.

or

which company do you work for?

hope this helps.
I'm no expert, just trying to work on my skills. If I've made any mistakes please bear with me.
