In many ways the difference is that headquarters is next or on top of the factory instead of in a different state.
- rusk 10y agoIts because most of these companies are small and largely family owned Sorry I have to question this .. Bosch, Mercedes, BMW? There are a few notables such as Krupps that were once upon a time family owned but increasingly these companies are owned by global conglomerates. Yes, these companies do outsource many functions to poorer countries but their centre of gravity is very certainly in Germany.
