Find Industrial Company Information Across Canada
Canada’s industrial economy is always changing. New companies open, firms relocate or merge, and decision-makers move into new roles. This happens across forestry, mining, agriculture, construction, and manufacturing.
An industrial database brings company and contact information together in one place, so your team doesn’t have to piece it together from scattered sources. It’s part of Scott’s wider Canadian business database.
Canadian Key Business Directory for Industrial Companies
A Canadian key business directory lists the companies that shape an industry, including manufacturers, head offices, distributors, and the service firms that support them. It also lists the people who make purchasing decisions at those companies.
With this kind of directory, B2B teams can see more than a company name. They can see its industry, size, and contacts, which makes it easier to decide which accounts to pursue.

"Was a brand new employee about a 10 weeks ago and I could tell that Scott’s Directory had far more bells and whistles than I was using. Decided to give their helpline a try. Upon calling, I was greeted by a kind and bubbly phone assistant named Rabiya. She taught me how to create and save company lists. That action alone saved me a lot of time. She would take a moment at the end of every call to point out a feature I was not familiar with."
