The St. Louis area is forging new frontiers in innovative and exciting industries, such as plant and medical sciences, information technology, and advanced manufacturing. Greater St. Louis is the headquarters for 21 Fortune 1000 companies, eight of which are in the Fortune 500. We're also home to some of the country's largest privately held companies, including Enterprise Rent-A-Car and UniGroup, parent company of Mayflower Transit and United Van Lines, and to some of the fastest-growing businesses in the country.
Situated at the confluence of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Illinois rivers, we have a tradition of leadership in transportation, distribution, and logistics. In fact, St. Louis ranks No. 1 in Transportation and Warehousing Workforce in the September 2006 list of "America's 100 Most Logistics-Friendly Cities" published by Expansion Management and Logistics Today magazines. We also are major players in other long-established industries. We're the nation's second-largest auto manufacturer, a leading center for aerospace development and defense production, and the hometown of the country's largest brewer.
With a business climate primed for continued growth, we look forward to more success in both established and emerging industries.
