During the month of August, we updated 544 records. There were 16 new companies added and that same amount deleted. For those of you producing a list for your sales teams, you need to keep watching those updates and market activity to keep the list current. Our database remains at 99% currency – virtually all 5,000 records have had an update within the past 12 months.
For those firms looking for lead generation opportunities, databases will need to be updated with all these new additions, M&A combinations . . . and some spin-offs.
Among the key new firms added are:
- Prime Therapeutics – a $16 billion private healthcare company
- Tecnicas Reunidas SA – an Engineering & Construction company based in Spain
- Endeavor (formerly IMG) a private $3+ billion firm
- Indra Sistemas a Spanish IT services company
- Ebro Foods – a $2.8 billion maker of food products

- China National Materials Co. Ltd. is now part of another firm – China National Building
- ADAMA Agricultural has been acquired
- Euler Hermes has been acquired by Allianz
