Two heads -- or headquarters -- are better than one. Aussie minerals and oil company BHP Limited acquired UK miner Billiton plc in 2001. The result is a two-headquartered, dual-listed company that is run as a single entity with the same board of directors and management. The Melbourne side is BHP Billiton Limited, the London side is BHP Billiton Plc, and they collectively are known as BHP Billiton. The company ranks among the world's top producers of iron ore and coal (thermal and metallurgical) and is a major producer of petroleum products such as crude oil and natural gas. Other units produce aluminum, base metals, diamonds, manganese, and stainless steel materials. BHP Billiton has operations worldwide.
