Year after year, Ohio consistently leads the U.S. in business expansion for many reasons. These companies know the benefits Ohio can provide to North American operations.
As a U.S. and international manufacturing leader, Ohio offers world-class industry access and support. Ohio is centrally located to your customers and suppliers, providing the most affordable choice for your sales, distribution and manufacturing operations in North America.
More than half the total of manufacturing expansions in the U.S. have located in the American Midwest. Domestic and international companies have placed Ohio at the top of the list because they know it's the best place to take advantage of access to corporate manufacturing customers, suppliers and joint partnerships.
In 2006 and 2007, Ohio again won the coveted Governor's Cup, presented each year by Site Selection magazine to the U.S. state achieving the greatest number of business expansions for the year. In fact, Ohio has placed in the top four among all 50 states each of the last six years. More companies have invested in Ohio than any other Midwest state, with more than $30 billion invested in business expansions. It's more proof that successful companies around the world are choosing Ohio as the best location for their U.S. operations.
