Ric0_0 273 Report post Posted May 18, 2020 Charlotte and NC had a very good representation this year on both the Fortune 500 and 1000 lists. Although I'm still surprised GA edged out NC with more Fortune 500/1000 companies in total. It's also very interresting (for me at least) to see how spread out a lot of the companies are compared to GA where they are centered on Atlanta and Columbus (Aflac, Synovus, and used to have TSYS).

At the state level, North Carolina is held back by the Triad and Triangle punching below their weight on Fortune 500 HQ's. The Charlotte area is less than 25% of the population of North Carolina, but accounts for ~62% of Fortune 500 companies in the state. The Triangle economy is just different though and less of a corporate HQ town with a significant portion of their economy being government, non-profits, and education. The Triangle has many large North American headquarters or important facilities, but is not technically the headquarters of many large firms (much like the Wells Fargo situation in Charlotte -> massive campus, but not "technically" HQ). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think what you are seeing in the Triangle is a heavy BIO cluster. With a lot of CRO and biomedical firms locating there, the F1000 #s look a lot better than people think. And Raleigh has become somewhat of a corporate relocation site in the last 5 years with BMC, Cornerstone Building Supply, and Advanced Auto Parts relocating or merging there. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raleigh Durham area has a lot publicly based corporations but most are very small compared to the behemoths of Charlotte. Smaller contract research organizations and biopharma companies. Charlotte has always been a big financial and HQ kinda of town and it continues to attract those type of companies. The 2nd biggest financial center in the state was always Winston though now a case could be made for Raleigh with First Citizens Bank and the NC SECU based there. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stiluvclt 157 Report post Posted May 19, 2020 KJ, you are a damn fine investigative writer. Any reputable business publication reporter/photographer would be hard pressed to top your ability of fact finding. So here's my challenge for you: Find someone at Duke that give us some insight on underground wiring. All of these wonderful Charlotte projects have an eyesore of distraction with all of the exposed clutter in the air (I'm referring to the power lines). Since you know everyone in townI am sure that you have an "in" with someone at Duke that can at least give you a timetable? 1 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And now, neither one can keep up with the F1000. It is quite interesting though...I've done quite a bit of work on the $1b Public Companies in the region, and there are about 5-10 more in the $1-2b range. Interested to see how Ingersoll-Rand and their current network of spinning off will work out. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atlrvr 4215 Report post Posted May 19, 2020 That Ingersoll Rand appears to be post spin-off. The larger Trane unit is still Ireland based. Pre-spin-off the combined entity was easily F500, and Trane if it were US domiciled still would be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
