The QC is the heart of the Midwest, the sweet spot for industry and creativity, where two states and one mighty Mississippi River are home to a family of communities. There is an ease of doing business, an available workforce skilled in manufacturing, a central location with multi-modal access to the coasts and a supply chain flush with materials for companies in the region. Our industries are made up of talented people with innovative ideas who are seeking to make local global.
QC, That’s Where your logistic operations and products have a direct path to major U.S. cities in mere hours, not days. Where the interstate arteries provide a connection to the world through the Midwest crossroads. Where barges unload and embark on the Mississippi River inland waterway, a low-cost, earth-friendly transportation superhighway. Where major freight railroads transport products and goods through our region. It’s where our international airport serves as a host to the delivery of your clients and your freight.
The QC offers an open-minded network and drive that make the region a hub of ambition and innovation for a new generation. We’re building on the legacy of John Deere, a global giant that remains deeply rooted in the QC and the genesis for countless spinoffs and innovators.
