Jamie Nails Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Going to guess that's right...In terms of HQ. General Mills and Ford are on the list but they aren't there with a corporate presence. The banks are regional at best too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abc Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 M&T Bank is listed as 510 (they actually go past 500). Corning Inc is 313 down here in the Southern Tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CherryCoke Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) None in the Fortune 500...but some not too far off....3 definitely in the top 1000: M&T Bank is ranked 510 (Buffalo) Moog is ranked 836 (East Aurora) Tops is ranked 849 (Williamsville) Rich Products is privately held, so does not make the list, but would be in the 800s Wegmans (Rochester based) is privately held so does not make this list, but based on their expansion outside of NY, would put them in the top 500 Edited June 7, 2016 by CherryCoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Geico Moog Google Ingram Micro None have HQs there. Ingram is close as that's their east coast HQ, but not the true HQ That's a big part of the stadium luxury box problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heitz Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 http://fortune.com/2014/06/04/where-to-find-the-fortune-500/ Fortune needs to hire someone to work on their infographics - that one is not useless enough. o_O At least let me zoom and click on the dots to see the company. I'm pretty sure I have an intern here that could make that happen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaskerTough Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) Geico Moog Google Ingram Micro MOOG is in WNY?? If MOOG was a Fortune 500 company, the world would be a much better place. Edited June 7, 2016 by TaskerTough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) I work at Ingram - we got bought by some Chinese corporation so it will no longer be on the fortune 500. I think there are more employees in Buffalo than in Irvine, but all of the senior leadership is in California.

keepthefaith Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I work at Ingram - we got bought by some Chinese corporation so it will no longer be on the fortune 500. That's sad in my book that the company was sold to a Chinese group. Mr Ingram if still alive would probably not be happy, but when you go public, you subject the company to a lot of external forces.

Best Player Available Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 3M owns O-cello sponge factory in Buffalo NY. Easily a fortune 500 in fact at one time and maybe still a dow 30 corp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
