Founded in 2005, the Baltimore Industrial Group (BIG) was established by prominent public and private businesses and organizations in Baltimore to advocate for industry and maritime operations.
BIG represents an array of businesses involved in manufacturing, transportation, maritime, shipping and warehousing. Our members alone employ 16,000 people directly and indirectly in the Baltimore metropolitan area and generate billions of dollars in annual revenue and taxes.
BIG's mission centers on supporting industry and maritime initiatives and improving the public's understanding of our issues.
The Baltimore Industrial Group is committed to protecting and growing the industrial sector so it can continue to provide good jobs to Baltimoreans, contribute to a thriving Port and encourage further investment in our City.
