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 June 2019, 60 new companies were added to the Global 5000 database. This brings our total new adds over the last 12 months to 220. During the month of June, 560 company records were updated and there were 1,822 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. 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 Q2 included:
- Confédération Nationale du Crédit Mutuels, the private, French financial conglomerate
- Cushman & Wakefield, the $8 billion real estate services firm
- Jinke Property Group based on China
- O-Film Tech Company – a $5 billion optical products manufacturer
- Kaisa Group – a Chinese real estate development firm.
And some of the notable firms we removed from the active file during the quarter include the following:
- Empresas COPEC is a subsidiary of AntarChile
- Posco Daewoo Corporation figures are included in the POSCO record
- Showa Shell Sekiyu acquired by Idemitsu Kosan
- GKN plc – acquired by Melrose Industries
- Luxottica Group SpA merged with Essilor
