Manufacturing
In the past highly specialized print directories provided lists of manufacturers, wholesalers and suppliers. Today many online portals offer listings for similar kinds of information. One source that has been around since the print days and now has gone online is ThomasNet - their site provides two versions of their directory: U.S. and Global, and allows you search for suppliers and compare 2-5 companies side-by-side.
