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 month of May 2019, 26 new companies were added to the Global 5000 database. This brings our total new adds over the last 12 months to 209. During the month, 623 company records were updated.
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. Companies with a marketing database that don’t follow this level of activity are truly missing out in their sales and marketing efforts.
Some of the top companies we added during May included:
- Confédération Nationale du Crédit Mutuel a French financial group
- O-film Tech Co Ltd an optical component manufacturer
- Konka Group Ltd – a Chinese household electronics manufacturer
- Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. – a $3.5 billion business infrastructure provider
- Jiangsu Changjiang Electronics Technology Co Ltd – a semiconductor manufacturer
And some of the notable firms we removed from the active file include the following:
- Posco Daewoo Corporation is a subsidiary of POSCO
- GKN plc was acquired by Melrose Industries
- Credit Industriel et Commercial SA (CIC) is part of Banque Fédérative du Crédit Mutuel
- Williams Partners has now been incorporated into Williams Companies
- ARRIS Group, Inc. has been acquired by CommScope
