OHIO DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT Office of Strategic Research INTERNATIONAL CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN OHIO OPERATIONS June 2006 A State Affiliate of the U.S. Census Bureau Bob Taft, Governor Bruce Johnson, Director International Corporate Investment in Ohio Operations July 2006 This Directory identifies 963 companies based in Ohio having some type of International Corporate Investment. The address, employment, function, and country of foreign origin creates the database published by the Ohio Department of Development. The Directory of International Corporate Investment in Ohio Operations is a detailed listing of foreign based enterprises that have investment or managerial interests in business operations based in Ohio. The report provides a summary by Country, Distribution Maps and data lists sorted by alphabetical listing, country of foreign origin, and the county location of the Ohio investment. The enterprises listed in the directory have ten or more employees at the Ohio site. The information was collected through mail survey, phone contact, web searches and news reports. International investment is defined as ten percent or greater of corporate shares / capital owned by others domiciled outside the United States. There are no mandatory state filing of international status, thus this report was made possible through the voluntary cooperation of the companies listed. Employment counts may differ with other published reports due to the timing or aggregation of the data. While every attempt has been made to make this Directory complete and accurate as possible, global trade and commerce creates a constant state of change. Updates and new listings are always welcome and will be incorporated into later editions. All information listed should be considered current as of April 2005.
