See our Partners USA page for additional information, business resources and assistance. This region of the country has long been called "The Heartland." It’s known for its hard-working people who for generations have produced goods with familiar names — Goodyear tires, Hoover vacuum cleaners, Rubbermaid house wares, Sherwin-Williams paints, Smuckers jams and preserves. In fact, Northeast Ohio has come to be known as the manufacturing and wholesale center for North America and, increasingly, for the world. Its diversified industrial base includes tires, plastics, chemicals, machinery, automobiles and automotive parts, and steel. And while manufacturing has provided a solid economic base, service sector jobs remain strong, particularly in health care, banking, law, accounting and retail. The region boasts a strong concentration of corporate headquarters and research and development functions. Industrial R&D departments, especially in biomedical and materials science (polymers), are complimented by strong programs at area universities, including The University of Akron (polymers), Case Western Reserve University (biomedical, polymers) and Kent State University (liquid crystals technology). Research and Development Thanks in part to industrial roots that go back at least a century, Northeast Ohio today remains a popular location for international headquarters of large corporations. Research and Development functions for a disproportionate number of these firms -- many Fortune 500 companies -- are located here. For example, one-third of Fortune magazine’s top 1,000 companies in the rubber and plastic products category are in Northeast Ohio, and 2.4 percent of Fortune 500 headquarters -- almost twice the region’s proportion of total U.S. employment -- are located in Northeast Ohio. Centered in Northeast Ohio are some of the nation’s best research and development programs for the polymer, electronics, biomedical, aeronautics and automotive industries.
