Manufacturing Industry Guide
Houston’s manufacturing infrastructure is world-class. The region
provides unmatched, cost-effective transportation options to access global
markets, including four deepwater ports, two major railroads radiating
from Houston and more than 1,100 trucking companies that travel the U.S.
interstate highway system throughout the area. In addition, the Texas power grid is the only independent system
in North America that doesn’t cross state lines and ensures
the Houston region an abundant, reliable source of electric power.
The Greater Houston Partnership has a unique place among business
organizations. It combines opportunities for economic development,
world trade and chamber of commerce activities. As the primary business advocate for the Houston region, the Partnership helps
keep businesses connected and works for their interests.
