The Advanced Search link takes you to a page that lets you search by over 30 criteria. As an example, let’s say you’re looking for companies that are in Ohio or California, have 100 or more employees at the location, and manufacture Adhesives and Sealants (SIC Code 2891). 

1. If you are not already on the Advanced Search page, click the Advanced Search link.

2. Click the State search option, select California and Ohio, and then click Add to Criteria.
3. Click the Employment/Sales search option, choose ‘Greater than or equal to’, and type in 100. Select the radio button for ‘Single Location’, and then click Add to Criteria.  
4. Click the SIC Code search option, enter ‘2891’ in the SIC Code text box, and click Add to Criteria.  
5. Click Run Search.

Once the search is completed, the results will be displayed on your screen in a Summary View layout. To see a detailed profile for a given company, click on the company name. In addition to detailed company information, the Full Profile View includes links to company websites and, for locations that are part of a corporate tree structure, links to their headquarters and global ultimate parent locations. A premium Corporate Family Linkage option allows you to view the complete corporate tree structure for the organization.
