The problem with the question is that there are few large "American" companies today. Many of the big name corporations we think of as American are actually multinational companies with managers, investors (owners) and board members from all over the world.
So, it's a little strange to think of it as "sending jobs overseas". They are setting up operations in the most advantageous place. What is interesting about Ford, GM, etc, is that as they "send jobs overseas", Toyota and others are building plants here in the US.
I worked for a large manufacturing company that has plenty of "overseas" operations, but they have those because they expect that 40% of their future revenues in 10 years will be from China, and only about 25% will be from the US. It's a sign of the general migration of capital and talent to Southeast Asia, not just an issue of some union guys in the US losing their jobs.

Haliburton and other military related companies. If you count the army as a company, they do to. As does the government (all those embassies), and any company that has foreign offices.
Google and Yahoo have big divisions here in Europe, just like McDonalds.
The only famous company I know of that doesn't is GoDaddy.

Mostly the car companies (GM, Ford), and the big clothing manufacturers.
