The Netherlands is home of many multinational corporations, like Philips, Shell, Unilever, Heineken, ING Bank, ABN AMRO Bank, TNT and KLM. The roots of many multinationals lie in the Netherlands, but also many non-Dutch companies (like IKEA) have their headquarters established in Holland, because of the countrys good corporate climate. The Netherlands is a major transport and trade hub, corporate tax climate is good, and it has highly educated labor. The trading mentality of the Dutch also led to large companies you might not even know as being Dutch, such as TomTom. For more information, please visit www.iStip.com
