Abstract

This paper analyzes the industrial situation, updated at the beginning of2013, in Bari, Brindisi and Taranto - the three main towns of Puglia since thelate 1950s, which have experienced a sustained growth of their manufacturingsector still representing a strong point not only for their economy, but also forSouthern Italy and our country as a whole. The sectors employing the highestnumber of employees in large industries are Automotive and Heavy Engineeringin Bari, Chemistry, Energy and Aeronautics in Brindisi, and Steel, Petrochemical,Shipbuilding and Aerospace in Taranto. The robustness and the competitiveability of these large industries located in the region and dealing with the fieldsmentioned above, disprove the opinion of those scholars who, up to now, haveeither decided not to analyze these production companies in depth or have underestimatedtheir importance.
