Boeing, together with its subsidiaries, designs, develops, manufactures, sells, services, and supports commercial jetliners, military aircraft, satellites, missile defense, plus human spaceflight and launch systems worldwide. The company operates through its commercial airplanes; defense, space, and security; and global services segments. In recent years, safety concerns and labor disputes have plagued the company, which was once lauded for its engineering-first culture. Boeing was incorporated in 1916. After a long history outside Seattle, in 2001 it moved its headquarters to Chicago to be closer to customers. It ultimately moved again to Arlington, Va., where it’s presently headquartered.
