Boeing is a US-based company that manufactures commercial airplanes and military aircraft, helicopters, weapons, launch systems, satellites, electronic and defense systems and more. It’s the largest aerospace company in the world, and America’s biggest manufacturing exporter. The company serves customers in over 150 countries.

Boeing is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, and employs over 140,000 staff in the USA and in more than 65 countries around the world. The company has regional executives in offices on every continent to extend its global reach and local market focus. More than 70 per cent of Boeing’s total order book is represented by customers outside the US.

Boeing is organised into three business units: Commercial Airplanes; Defence, Space & Security; and Boeing Global Services. Boeing Capital Corporation, a global provider of financing solutions, supports these units.

Boeing is probably best known as the manufacturer of commercial jetliners used by air travellers around the world for decades. Today the company manufactures the 737, 747, 767, 777 and 787 families of airplanes as well as the Boeing Business Jet range. But Boeing faces some stiff competition in aircraft manufacturing. Rivals seeking to increase their market share include Airbus, Embraer and Bombardier.

Boeing has been around for over a century, and it’s been a household name for much of that time. Among its many landmark achievements, the company designed and built the first stage of the Saturn V rocket for the Apollo expeditions to the moon.
