MNI is the foremost people-powered U.S. industrial data publisher, TRUSTED by over 49,000 sales & marketing professionals at small-to-medium businesses and Fortune 500 companies alike.
MNI is America’s oldest and largest compiler and publisher of industrial information. Unlike any other data provider in this niche, the foundation of MNI’s company profile data continues to be built on real human research, fortified by MNI’s own proprietary technologies for data verification and quality control. This continues throughout the year, perpetually. Rest assured, MNI does not scrape the web, and thereby avoids all the outdated, inaccurate and unreliable data that some other companies sell.
During MNI’s ongoing annual research cycle, more than one million phone calls are placed, two million pieces of mail are sent, and three million emails go out to engage with the listed companies and ensure the highest level of accuracy and completeness are built into the published profile.

2. Family Tree View
Clearly see your prospect’s corporate family.
The MNI research team identifies as many as 40 key facts about each business, including their relationship to branches, subsidiaries, and parent companies where applicable. This “Family Tree” feature is a powerful tool for reaching stakeholders and the executives with the final decision-making authority across broad company landscapes.
You won’t find this Family Tree data in the competitors’ lists – it’s the direct result of the hard work of MNI’s 80-person research team and the effort they apply with the mandate for excellence.
Bottom line – you’ll gain powerful insight into matrix organizations and the parent-child relationships between head offices and subsidiaries, branches, plants, sister companies and more.
