IndustrySelect has launched six new specialty database subscriptions, expanding access to some of the most in-demand segments of the U.S. manufacturing and industrial economy. These new databases were developed in response to growing demand for tighter targeting, deeper segmentation, and more precise outreach across complex industrial markets.
From large enterprises to defense manufacturers, let's explore these highly targeted new databases newly available exclusively from IndustrySelect.
This database focuses on the core job shop and traditional contract manufacturing market. It includes companies whose primary business is providing outsourced, hands-on production services such as machining, machine shops, metal fabrication, sheet metal work, welding, tube and pipe fabrication, and industrial finishing services.

What’s the difference?
The Contract Manufacturers & Job Shops database is ideal for targeting traditional production service providers focused on machining and fabrication. The Contract Manufacturing Industry database includes those companies plus the full modern contract manufacturing supply chain, making it the best choice for reaching electronics, plastics, tooling, and advanced manufacturing services alongside job shops.
This database includes manufacturers operating in the U.S. defense and military sector, covering small arms, ammunition, weapons and ordnance, armored vehicles, aircraft and engines, missiles and space vehicles, avionics, military electronics, and secure communications equipment.
