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 March 2019, 30 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, 784 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:
- Greentown China Holdings a China based real estate developer
- Liuzhou Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. is a $6 billion steel manufacturer
- China Oriental Group is a $6 billion iron and steel investor
- Future Land Development Holdings is a real estate developer
- Nanjing Iron & Steel Co manufactures steel products
And some of the notable firms we removed from the active file include the following:
- Express Scripts, Inc. was acquired by Cigna
- Aetna was acquired by CVS
- Andeavor was acquired by Marathon Petroleum
- Time Warner was acquired by AT&T
- Energy Transfer Partners merged with Energy Transfer LP
