Site data
Using any combination of criteria to isolate the right sites and contacts for your purposes, even the most exacting specification can be satisfied. The detail we hold at each site includes:
- Description of principal product manufactured on site
- SIC Code information (UK2007, UK1980, US1987)
- Establishment type (manufacturing, design, R&D, warehousing/distribution)
- Total employees on site
- Parent/subsidiary
- Key department structures (Production, Engineering Design, Electronic Design, Factory services)
- Purchasing and Supply chain departments
- No. of metal cutting machines (manual/CNC)
- No. of metal forming machines (manual/CNC)
- Machine tool type
- Supply chain information – Automotive, Aerospace, Defence, Medical, Oil & Gas, etc.
- Dun & Bradstreet company numbers
Departmental data
We start by researching the type, size and name of departments at each site. Within these departments we identify the functions undertaken, such as engineering design, R&D, assembly, component manufacture, maintenance, purchasing, IT etc.
By understanding how every site is organized, we can select sites by their capacity rather than simply by their size. Some examples of the key primary functions undertaken at each site are identified and shown below.
