Tennessee's business community is diverse, representing a wide range of companies in manufacturing, technology, back office, and agriculture. In recent years, we've seen a strong influx of corporate headquarters relocations to Tennessee, attracted by the ease of doing business here, the low cost of living and flexible relocation incentives.
In the last four years, more than 50 new corporate headquarters have decided to call Tennessee home. You've probably heard of some of them, like Oreck, ServiceMaster and Nissan North America.
In all, Tennessee is home to eight Fortune 500 companies, including FedEx, HCA and International Paper, and we have a long tradition of efficient, high-quality manufacturing. That's why global companies like automaker Volkswagen and polysilicon manufacturers Hemlock Semiconductor and Wacker Chemical have invested in Tennessee.
