Bakersfield
is strategically located
in the heart of the
world's fifth largest
economy at the southern
end of California's
Great Central Valley.
As the state's 11th
largest city, Bakersfield
offers corporations
one of the most affordable
and attractive locations
on the West Coast. A
recent Inc. Magazine
rated Bakersfield fifth
among the nation's top
medium-sized cities
for business.
Bakersfield's
available labor pool
and available office
space were just what
call centers like Pleasant
Holidays and ACS Inc
needed: State Farm Insurance
also found the perfect
site to build its regional
back office employing
1,500 people. A Bakersfield
location also has proven
benefits for technology-based
companies like DIVR
Systems, Inc., ProSoft
Technology, and Lortz
Manufacturing which
creates sophisticated,
precision components
for aerospace and space
age industries.
Metropolitan
Bakersfield covers a
land area of 224 square
miles and offers abundant,
affordable land for
expansion and growth.
And excellent road,
rail and air transportation
systems create vital
links in the distribution
chain. A Bakersfield
location places you
within four hours of
90 percent of the state's
residents.
