For the detailed numbers of companies in the above-mentioned lists, refer here.

The companies has been listed based on the following criteria:

  • The head office is located in one of the countries of the listed region.
  • The company is in the producing or servicing industry. No holding companies or groups are listed. Also not listed are authorities or private persons.
  • The company has reached in the last year a specified output. This output for the producing, trading and servicing industry is the revenue, the minimum value of which is listed in this table
    For banks and other financial institutions, the sum of the balance sheet is thirty (30) times of this amount. For insurance companies, the minimum premium income must be four (4) times of this level .

The complete table contains information, such as:

  • Company name (*),
  • Address of the head office (Street, zip code, city and if applicable the post box (*)),
  • Phone number,
  • Fax number,
  • E-Mail address (if published) or internet address (URL) of contact form,
  • Homepage (URL)

(*) All language dependent information are given in latin characters (even for Greece and Russia). If different, the local (national) form of the information is listed. This is because the most important person who must read and understand the address is the local postman who brings your letter to the companies. For the different purposes which you may plan, we have listed every language dependent information in three (3) different formats:

  • Excel-Format, which should be correct on every Windows based PC
  • HTML-Format
  • ASCII-Format
This ASCII-format contains no national characters and should be used only if your printer does not understand the national characters of the addressed countries. The resulting addresses should always be readable but because of the replaced national characters they are looking different from the "official" addresses. For example: München is called in other countries mostly "Munich". We are listing this city as
Excel-Format: München
HTML: München
ASCII: Muenchen

The tables are based on hundreds of hours of internet researches, information from news magazines and from the companies itself.

Moreover, this table contains no ranking and is strictly in alphabetical order.

The exact number of all items in the lists are published more detailed in our list overview.

The data has been researched and checked carefully, and under no circumstances we can be made responsible for any errors which might be hidden in the data of the table.
