The 10 biggest companies headquartered in the Charlotte region — the largest publicly traded local ones by revenue — range from banks to manufacturers.

Why it matters: Local corporations are major employers that play an outsized role in how Charlotte functions — including how it grows and how some charitable causes are funded.

The following are some of the largest companies headquartered in the Charlotte region, as well as their 2023 revenue and total employee count, according to Fortune.

• Local employee headcounts come directly from company spokespeople. If the entries do not include a local employee headcount, it means a company representative did not respond by the deadline.
• The Charlotte region is also home to many privately held corporations with significant revenue, including Red Ventures and Hendrick Automotive Group. Those companies don't report their financials, however.

Bank of America: $171.9 billion

• The Charlotte bank employs nearly 213,000 people globally, including about 19,000 locally, per the Observer.

Lowe's $86.4 billion

• The home improvement retailer employs 226,000 total, including at its Mooresville headquarters and its South End tech hub.

Honeywell: $36.7 billion

• The conglomerate — which makes everything from jet engines to home thermostats — relocated its headquarters from New Jersey to Charlotte in 2019. It has about 95,000 employees.

Nucor: $34.7 billion

• The Charlotte steelmaker employs 22,000, with about 200 in its Charlotte corporate offices in SouthPark.
