Chester County, PA is home to roughly 48,950 companies, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, most of which are small businesses. Nevertheless, here you will discover publically-traded corporations, entrepreneurial startups, large national chains, company headquarters and virtually everything in between. Chester County is the place for business!
The top employers include the Vanguard Group, QVC Network, and Siemens Medical Solutions USA. Moreover, the main business sectors include Agriculture, Manufacturing, Retail Trade, Biotech, and Tourism. This unique combination of industries has allowed Chester County to maintain a booming economy while keeping a rural atmosphere, despite being one of Pennsylvania’s fastest-growing locations for business.
Yet, while the area can boast being home to many large, nationally known and award-winning brands and companies, the area truly thrives because of small business. The typical company is either owner-operated, family-run, or a small mom-and-pop shop. It is for this reason that Chester County’s economy is one of the strongest and most diversified in the state and the nation. Here you will find everything from High Tech to Amish markets.
