Hi bigfootale-ga!

Google Answers Researchers are quite wary of the "ALL" word or
requirement since we can never be sure if we have covered all the
bases. How many companies would be ok as an answer?

Thanks!

Hi again.

Would manufacturers specially ones in Asia be good as well? Would the
link to the company website be ok if there is no contact info?

Thanks!

Hi again!

1.)  I was able to find a list of such companies. However, you will
have to click on each company name to get the contact information.
Will this be ok with you?

2.) I got a list of more than 600 companies. Here is a breakdown as
regards to the following regions:

Americas: North and South = 300 Companies
Asia = 169 Companies
Europe = 119
Middle East - 19
Africa = 19
Australasia = 7

Will you be ok with numbers 1 and 2 of my findings?

Thanks once more.
