An EHQ (European Headquater) is a separate legal entity within a company, whose main task and responsibility it is to coordinate activities for a number of subsidiaries/ business units/divisions/distributors/clients across Europe. Often the EHQ is an integrated regional headquarter that also includes control over the Middle East and Africa. For many companies, it works purely as a cost center, without generating directly any revenue. Typical activities to be co-ordinated are regional strategy, sales & marketing, customer support, HR, finance and legal. The EHQ acts as the interface between corporate headquarters and the local subsidiaries/distributors/ clients in Europe. Most EHQs are of the stand-alone type, meaning they are not incorporated with other local operational activities, like country sales units, manufacturing or logistics. These subsidiaries are, usually for tax reasons, organized as a corporate unit. A multinational company can therefore operate several corporate units in a country like Switzerland, Belgium or the Netherlands. There could be the EHQ, then a separate unit, that owns all the National sales subsidiaries around Europe, Africa and the Middle East. In addition, there would be another corporate unit, owning all the manufacturing and logistic outfits within Europe, Africa and the Middle East. These latter two might only be letter box companies, but generating billions of revenue.There may also be financing (leasing etc) units that are kept separate.

There are more than 2,500 European Headquarters of US and Asian companies in various locations in Europe.

New fast growing companies that want to become global players, especially to be found in high tech sectors, such as medical technology, life sciences and IT (including software). Asian companieswill gain in importance as they will be the industry leaders of tomorrow

There has been increased competition amongst cities for the location of headquarters. Within Europe, Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt, Geneva, London, Munich, Paris, Zug, Fribourg and Zurich are the traditional competitors for EHQs for US and Asian companies.

You will find European Headquarter's sites of American, Asian, Canadian and other International Companies on this page. If you are looking for a job in a foreign subsidiary in your country, go to the European HQ site first and then see whether they have national sites. The sites are organized by groups of the most common countries in which such regional headquarter's are located.

Often the European Middle East and Africa Headquarter of internationally active companies tend to be located in the United Kingdom, the Benelux countries or in Switzerland, while the largest subsidiaries of international companies are in Germany, France and the UK. If you are looking for a staff job, start with the HQ sites, if you are looking for a manufacturing jobs, the subsidiaries are a good place to start.

Switzerland is a major location for EHQs. These EHQs are of Fortune 500 companies as well as of small and medium-sized companies. Switzerland has recently become more active in courting Asian companies for their EHQ base. In general, the international marketing activities have been stepped up considerably, to promote Switzerland as a EHQ location. The relatively easy availability, though constant shortage, of highly educated multi-lingual staff with a superb working moral is a major asset, as is the high standard of living, public transport, bureaucratic response, education, and security.
