A major indicator of a city’s economic strength and stability is the presence of Fortune 500 operations. The Fortune
500 list is compiled each year by Fortune magazine by ranking the previous year’s annual revenues of large national
and multinational corporations headquartered in the United States. Revenue does not have a direct relationship with
profits or market value, but the list is a quantitative symbol of the scope, power and size of a particular company.
Because Fortune does not include companies that do not file financial statements with government agencies or
companies incorporated outside of the U.S., large corporations like Compass Group, Hendrick Automotive Group,
Ingersoll Rand and National Gypsum Company are excluded from the list.
The companies on the Fortune 500 list represent an array of industries. They are also structurally diverse, ranging
from partnerships and alliances to multiple business entities. It is no surprise that metro areas find it attractive to
recruit these companies’ headquarters due to the potential capital and labor investment and the extent of secondary
investment. These headquarters also give global recognition to a city as a major center of business activity and
contribute greatly to corporate giving for arts, education and cultural amenities in an area.
Note: In June 2015, Sealed Air broke ground on its new corporate headquarters in Charlotte. They relocated
from New Jersey in 2014. This is not reflected in the 2014 Fortune 500 listing.

The Charlotte metro area boasts seven Fortune 500 headquarters, ranking the MSA 20th nationally in number of
Fortune 500 company headquarters. These headquarters represent more than $223.4 billion in revenue for 2013. More
importantly, 291 of the Fortune 500 companies have made a commitment to Charlotte by placing one or more of their
facilities within the MSA. This report lists a key representative of each of the Fortune companies that have a facility in
the Charlotte MSA.
The Charlotte metropolitan statistical area (MSA) includes the following counties: Cabarrus, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln,
Mecklenburg, Rowan and Union in North Carolina, and Chester, Lancaster and York in South Carolina.
Industry group rankings come from the Fortune 500 issue of Fortune magazine, June 2014.
The Charlotte area now boasts 10 Fortune 1000 headquarters. SPX Corporation, CommScope Holding Company, Inc.
and Curtiss-Wright Controls joined the 2014 list. This brings the total number of Fortune 1000 headquarters in the
Charlotte region to 17 (including the Fortune 500 companies).
The state of North Carolina is home to 13 Fortune 500 headquarters, with the city of Charlotte claiming the largest
number of headquarters in the state (four). Winston-Salem and Greensboro both boast two headquarters each, and
Burlington, Cary, Durham, Matthews and Mooresville each claim one.
The research for this report was conducted by referencing the 2014 Fortune 500 list to online directories and company
websites to produce a list of Fortune 500 affiliates and subsidiaries located in the Charlotte MSA. The goal of this report
is not to link all Fortune 500 companies in the area to their parent; it is to identify a major holding of the parent in the
Charlotte market to ensure its presence. Thus, all of the Fortune 500 affiliates that do business in the area may not be
listed in this report. Only those companies with major affiliates clearly identified by a physical office or location within
the Charlotte MSA are included. One major office for each identified Fortune 500 company is listed. Any additional
subsidiaries are listed by name and can be referenced to the local phone directory for further contact information.
