Filters - Industry

We assign Industry Tags to all companies in our database. This way, you can review about 40 industries instead of 1,000 Standard Industry Classification (SIC) codes.

Industry Tags are assigned by a combination of SIC, NAICS, company keywords, and FMCSA fields.

You can see SIC-4 Descriptions before downloading data. They are in the Company Details. Click a row in the table, and a slider will come in from the right side with details about the company.

On the Excel export file, you will receive codes and descriptions for SIC-2, SIC-4 and SIC-6.
