Luis, I am presuming you do not have an overarching grouping value here…and simply wish to show a standard search result that shows 1 item per company.
You should be able to accomplish your second page of desired items (the second item from each of your 20 represented companies) by using the group.offset parameter. This will shift the position in the returned array of documents to the value provided. Thus: group.limit=1&group.field=companyid&group.offset=1 …would return the second item in each companyid group matching your current query.
