Maine has very few large companies that maintain headquarters in the state, and that number has fallen due to consolidations and mergers, particularly in the [[pulp and paper industry]]. Some of the larger companies that do maintain headquarters in Maine include [[Covetrus]] in Portland, [[Fairchild Semiconductor]] in South Portland, [[IDEXX Laboratories]] in Westbrook, [[Hannaford Bros. Co.]] in Scarborough, and [[L.L.Bean]] in [[Freeport, Maine|Freeport]] |
