The Global 5000 database of the largest companies in the world continues to provide B2B marketers a timely, continually updated source of business information for business lead generation, CRM systems and ABM activity.
For the quarter ending September 2019, 59 new companies were added to the Global 5000 database. This brings our total new adds over the last 12 months to 221. During the month of September, 615 company records were updated and there were 1,916 updates during the quarter.
Every month we complete a series of updates so that we cycle thru the entire database annually. In this process there are always a number of changes and major deals in the M&A world.

- Jinchuan Group Co Ltd is a large Chinese mining company
