To provide our users with the most comprehensive supplier search, we may occasionally create profiles of suppliers, which have not been created by the supplying company itself.

If your company has not received a claim invitation by Industry List you can check the existing profile and, if unclaimed, click on the “Claim Now” button on the top right.
