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 April 2019, 18 new companies were added to the Global 5000 database. This brings our total new adds over the last 12 months to 199. During the month, 639 company records were updated as December Fiscal Year reporting is in full swing.
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 March included:
- Cushman & Wakefield went public last year and published financials
- Shanghai Industrial Holdings is a $3.7 billion firm
- Bank of Zhengzhou with revenues of $3.5 billion
- YTO Express Group is a China based delivery company
- Wanda Films is a $2billion film & cinema company
And some of the notable firms we removed from the active file include the following:
- Empresas Copec S.A. is a subsidiary of AntarChile
- Luxottica Group has merged with Essilor
- Dynegy, Inc. was acquired by Vistra energy
- Gemalto was acquired by Thales Group
- KapStone Paper & Packaging was acquired by WestRock
