Whats your cities companies?

There is so much of them in Warsaw, i wont even start naming them.

Also in Metro Manila.. There are so many.

Seing how the Fortune 500 and 1000 only covers American companies I doubt you'll find many here...

Whats your cities companies?

NY has far more companies then this but many of these are not F500 and some arent even NY Area companies. off the top of my head,
Sony is Japanese
News Corp is Australian
Gap is HQed in San Francisco
ABC is owned by Disney, which is HQed in Los Angeles

what do you mean? headquartered here or have a presence here?
many of the companies in the list do not have HQ in New York, but ifyou mean presence I would assume everyone of the fortune 500 companies has some presence in New York.

There is so much of them in Warsaw, i wont even start naming them.

What's the use of such a post where the thread asks tol list companies?
By the way Fortune 500 is a list of US companies, so if you talk about cities outside the US it's Global 500 companies.

Neither Warsaw nor Manila are in the top 10:

1 Tokyo Japan 52
2 Paris France 27
3 New York U.S. 24
4 London Britain 23
5 Beijing China 15
6 Seoul South Korea 9
7 Toronto Canada 8
8 Madrid Spain 7
8 Zürich Switzerland 7
9 Houston U.S. 6
9 Osaka Japan 6
9 Munich Germany 6
9 Atlanta U.S. 6
10 Rome Italy 5
10 Düsseldorf Germany 5

If it's the HQ there's a few here.. but if it's an office branch there are a lot..

News Corp has its hq in New York on 6th ave
I meant the headquaters within the city and not major prescense all those companies have there HQs in the city
Sony has its North American HQ in New York I meant to say the main HQ
Ys your right about Gap and ABC are in cali

Don't even bother finding ONE in my city, you'll just end up BLINDED.

News Corp has its hq in New York on 6th ave
I meant the headquaters within the city and not major prescense all those companies have there HQs in the city

I did this last year, too lazy to do it this year cause the NY Metro covers 4 states...anywho, THE REASON WHY THERE ARE WEIRD RANKINGS IS BECAUSE GE IS THE BIGGEST COMPANY IN CT, CITIGROUP IS THE BIGGEST COMPANY IN NY AND JOHNSON & JOHNSON IS THE BIGGEST COMPANY IN NJ.

The UK is in a strange situation. Many companies have their registered offices in London, despite not actually being run from there. If by headquarters you mean the office that the decisions are made in, rather than the registered office, Manchester has two:

GUS
AstraZeneca

Katz Group (Pharmaceutical - runs several chains of drug stores, including Rexall)
Poole Construction Limited (PCL) (Canada's largest construction company)
Canadian Western Bank

i guess Wilmington, Delaware does alright for a mid-size city

Delaware is the Preferred Gateway

The state of Delaware provides a unique and favored gateway to the U.S. marketplace. More than 500,000 corporations, limited liability companies, statutory trusts, and partnerships have been formed in Delaware. That number, however, is only part of the story. Delaware is the corporate home state for many of the largest, most successful and best-known U.S. companies. Nearly 60% of the Fortune 500 companies are organized under Delaware law. Delaware corporations also constitute more than 50% of all U.S. publicly-traded companies.

Greater Downtown Seattle is headquarters of Washington Mutual, Starbucks, Nordstrom, Expeditors, Safeco (moving in), Amazon....

Suburban Seattle/Tacoma headquarters include Microsoft, Costco, PACCAR (Kenworth & Peterbilt), Weyerhaeuser...all $10b+ if I recall. Plus smaller firms like Symetra, Eddie Bauer...

Downtown Tacoma has Russell, which includes some of the major stock indexes.

Can't count Boeing anymore, but the Commercial Airplane Group is based here, and the biggest local private employer with something like 60,000 staff.

What's the use of such a post where the thread asks tol list companies?
By the way Fortune 500 is a list of US companies, so if you talk about cities outside the US it's Global 500 companies.

Neither Warsaw nor Manila are in the top 10:

1 Tokyo Japan 52
2 Paris France 27
3 New York U.S. 24
4 London Britain 23
5 Beijing China 15
6 Seoul South Korea 9
7 Toronto Canada 8
8 Madrid Spain 7
8 Zürich Switzerland 7
9 Houston U.S. 6
9 Osaka Japan 6
9 Munich Germany 6
9 Atlanta U.S. 6
10 Rome Italy 5
10 Düsseldorf Germany 5

Well, I wanted to point him that he asks in international forums about things that only concern american cities.

although no polish company makes to Fortune's Global 500, there are 4 in forbes Global 2000:
679 PKN Orlen Poland Oil & Gas Operations Plock
704 PKO Bank Polski Poland Banking Warsaw
1170 Pgnig-Polskie Górnictwo Naftowe Poland Oil & Gas Operations Warsaw
1406 KGHM Polska Miedz Poland Materials Lubin

Interestingly two of them are HQed in rather small cities, while other two are from Warsaw.

1 Tokyo Japan 52
2 Paris France 27
3 New York U.S. 24
4 London Britain 23
5 Beijing China 15
6 Seoul South Korea 9
7 Toronto Canada 8
8 Madrid Spain 7
8 Zürich Switzerland 7
9 Houston U.S. 6
9 Osaka Japan 6
9 Munich Germany 6
9 Atlanta U.S. 6
10 Rome Italy 5
10 Düsseldorf Germany 5
So Atlanta and Houston are tied as the second global 500 cities in the US? Seems strange that they would have more than even LA, Chicago, SF, etc. I would assume that those places would have more in their greater metros, and although Houston has a huge city limits Atlanta is fairly decentralised isn't it?

8 Fortune 500 in AU (2006 list, Coles Myer not likely to still be there in 2007 as it's gone through a demerger):

1 BHP Billiton 195 29,587.0 Melbourne
2 Coles Myer 216 27,408.8 Melbourne
3 National Australia Bank 226 26,471.4 Melbourne
4 Woolworths 251 24,035.7 Sydney
5 Commonwealth Bank of Australia 350 18,576.6 Sydney
6 Telstra 383 17,042.9 Melbourne
7 Australia & New Zealand Banking Corporation 423 15,940.4 Melbourne
8 Westpac Banking Corporation 430 15,715.3 Sydney

Rio Tinto is also split between London & Melbourne, it's ranked #310.

According to the Fortune Global 500 (http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/global500/2006/countries/F.html), 36 out of the 38 French companies are located in the Paris area.

There are 27 only if you consider La Défense as not being Paris...

Well Houston won't be the second HQ city for long Halliburton moving out!! (YEAAAAA! let's party.) But if you look beyoud the Global1000 from 1001-1050 lots of them are located in Houston, those power, oil and gas trading company getting big really fast...and Enron still alive!!

NYC need to watch out for is those Chinese state own company, they are so huge Fortune just don't have data to put them to the list yet, and most of them are HQ in Beijing.

Houston's loss is Dubai's (dubious) gain! Would be nice if they take some of Halliburton's ex execs!

In the Hartford area, unsuprisingly, most are in the Insurance Industry.

About 4 are in the Hartford city limits, including one in the top 50.

United Technologies (42)
Hartford Financial Services (82)
Aetna (85)
Northeast Utilities (337)
Stanley Works (521)
Chemtura (555)
Silgan Holdings (703)
Phoenix (726)
Magellan Health Svcs (949)

Connecticut has 11 overall, with General Electric (in the NY suburbs) being the 6th largest corporation in the US.

Very few, corporate Canada is in the process of being bought up and shipped off to other countries. Here is what's left in Toronto:

1. ManuLife (Insurance)
2. George Weston (Retailing: Loblaws, Holts, Selfridges)
3. Royal Bank (Banking)
4. Magna (Auto Industry)
5. Sun Life (Insurance)
6. CIBC (Banking)
7. Toronto-Dominion Bank (Banking)
8. ScotiaBank (Banking)
9. Onex (Conglomerate)

As you can see pretty much financial services is all that has survived.

In the Twin Cities (Minneapolis - Saint Paul) Metro, there are a few (taken from 2006 Global 500 list):

1. Target Corp. (Retail) Minneapolis (97)
2. UnitedHealth Group (Insurance) Minnetonka (116)
3. Best Buy (Electronic Retail) Richfield (189)
4. St. Paul Travelers (Insurance) Saint Paul (246)
5. 3M (Manufacturing) Saint Paul (301)
6. Supervalu (Grocery Retail) Eden Prairie (324)
7. U.S. Bancorp (Financial) Minneapolis (403)

Well, Seattle-Tacoma Metropolitan Area has:

The Puget Sound Business Journal's list of top public companies came out this week. It was remarkable how much our companies are growing. Amazon became our 6th $10 billion revenue company. Nordstrom and Starbucks are expanding quickly and should both top that figure soon.

We're not a huge headquarters city. But two other cities I sort of follow, Portland and Denver, only have one $10b company each in their entire metros.

PS, all of these companies are in King County, pop 1.8 million, representing the central half of our CSA. Only Issaquah is anywhere near the "edge" of town. No leapfrogging corporate development. Cool.

Here's a global 500 list for Chicago:

Boeing
Sears
Walgreen
Motorola
Abbott
McDonald's
Sara Lee
United Airlines
Exelon

Chicago doesn't appear on the top 10 cities list because many of the headquarters moved to suburbs. If you look at metro, Chicago trails: New York, Tokyo, Paris, Beijing, and Seoul. It would be tied with Toronto.

Katz Group (Pharmaceutical - runs several chains of drug stores, including Rexall)
Poole Construction Limited (PCL) (Canada's largest construction company)
Canadian Western Bank

Those aren't Global 500, they are Canadian 500. There are zero Global 500 headquartered in Edmonton.

Nat76: if you include suburbs, Chicago surpasses Toronto. There are more Global 500 firms based in 'Chicagoland'. The Greater Toronto Area increases from 8 to 9 firms. This list is more indicative of where the world's businesses are based, and thus, the business power, clout, prestige, lucrative jobs, wealth, etc.

1. Tokyo
2. New York
3. Paris
4. London
5. Beijing
6. Chicago
7. Seoul
8. Toronto
9. Madrid

Once you include medium sized businesses, the gap widens further. Walk around the CBD of both cities and you'll notice the difference right away.
