5 min read

Thinking about moving to Pascack Valley — or curious where the biggest employers are right in your backyard?

You might be surprised: this quiet pocket of northern Bergen County is home to some of New Jersey’s most significant corporate headquarters, from BMW to KPMG to Sharp Electronics.

Whether you’re job-hunting, house-hunting, or just local-history curious, here’s a closer look at which major companies call the Pascack Valley home, what they do here, and why it matters for residents.

Montvale: The Corporate Powerhouse of Pascack Valley

If Pascack Valley had a business capital, it would be Montvale. Tucked against the New York border, this borough hosts multiple national and global headquarters — all within a few square miles.

🏢 KPMG — A Big Four Accounting Giant

Montvale is home to a key operations hub for KPMG, one of the “Big Four” accounting firms. While its global HQ is in New York, the Montvale campus handles essential corporate functions like HR, IT, and internal operations — employing hundreds locally.

For professionals in finance, business services, or technology, this hub makes Montvale a standout career location without the Manhattan commute.

💡 Sharp Electronics — U.S. Headquarters

Sharp Electronics — best known for its TVs, display systems, and smart office solutions — runs its U.S. headquartersright here in Montvale. The office recently underwent a major renovation to modernize its workspaces and reflect Sharp’s tech-forward brand.

That means everything from national marketing to product strategy happens right off the Garden State Parkway — a major plus for local tech and engineering talent.

🎨 Benjamin Moore & Co.

Another corporate anchor in Montvale, Benjamin Moore operates a key office serving marketing and distribution functions for its paint and coatings empire.

The company’s Montvale presence underscores how this area attracts both industrial and corporate operations.

💳 Western Union — Global Financial Services

Few people realize it, but Western Union maintains a major commercial and marketing office in Montvale. The site supports the company’s financial services, international marketing, and regional management teams.

🖨️ Sharp Business Systems (NJ Branch)

Beyond Sharp’s HQ, Montvale also houses Sharp Business Systems, which supports office technology, document management, and B2B solutions for clients across New Jersey.

Together, these firms make Montvale one of Bergen County’s strongest employment centers — second only to nearby Paramus.

Woodcliff Lake: Luxury and Legacy

Right next door, Woodcliff Lake balances tree-lined streets and country clubs with high-profile companies and storied brands.

🚗 BMW of North America

Since the 1980s, BMW North America has operated from its headquarters campus in Woodcliff Lake. From corporate leadership to parts logistics and training, the site serves as the beating heart of BMW’s U.S. operations.

Locals often spot fleets of BMW test vehicles around town — a subtle perk of having a global luxury brand headquartered nearby.

🌍 Perillo Tours — Family-Owned, World-Renowned

A different kind of travel legacy lives here too: Perillo Tours, one of America’s oldest tour operators to Italy, is headquartered at Perillo Plaza, 577 Chestnut Ridge Road.

Started in 1945, this family-run business has grown into a nationally recognized brand while keeping its roots in Pascack Valley.

🏗️ Ingersoll Rand (Historic HQ)

While Ingersoll Rand has since relocated, its longtime headquarters once stood in Woodcliff Lake — leaving behind an industrial legacy and infrastructure that helped attract future corporate tenants like BMW.

Westwood: Healthcare at the Heart of the Valley

Westwood’s claim to large-scale operations is in healthcare. The Hackensack Meridian Pascack Valley Medical Center— a full-service, 128-bed community hospital — employs hundreds across clinical and administrative roles.

As of October 2025, the hospital continues to expand outpatient services and specialty programs, solidifying Westwood as Pascack Valley’s medical anchor.

Other Towns: Smaller Scale, Local Impact

The remaining Pascack Valley towns — Hillsdale, Park Ridge, River Vale, Emerson, and Washington Township — are more residential but still play a role in the local economy.

  • Park Ridge hosts several mid-sized firms and professional service offices.

  • Hillsdale and Emerson are home to growing local manufacturers, tech start-ups, and regional offices.

  • River Vale leans more residential, but local businesses thrive along Rivervale Road and Westwood Avenue.

If you’re a small business owner or new resident looking to connect, the Pascack Valley Chamber of Commerce(pascackchamber.org) is an excellent starting point.

Why Corporate Presence Matters for Residents

💼 More Local Jobs

Having top-tier employers in the area means you can live where you work — without sacrificing opportunity.

🚗 Shorter Commutes

Many residents enjoy NYC-level jobs with suburban commutes of 15–20 minutes instead of 90-minute train rides.

🏘️ Stronger Local Economies

Corporate offices contribute significantly to local tax bases, support community events, and attract supporting industries — from accounting firms to catering services.

💡 Inspiration for Entrepreneurs

Big names like BMW and KPMG show what’s possible here. Many smaller startups in the Valley have been launched by alumni of these major corporations.

If you’re house-hunting, job-hunting, or just getting to know the local economy, Pascack Valley offers the best of both worlds — small-town feel, big-league employers.
