- 40,000 industrial distributors and wholesalers have been added to industrial search engine, mniguide.com, raising the number of companies in its database to 600,000.
Visitors to the mniguide.com homepage can enter any product or industrial service, and the site returns a list of all companies in their geographic area (or the entire U.S.) that manufacture or supply that product. Full contact information exists for the 30,000 suppliers that choose to advertise on the site. The companies are first listed with phone numbers and links to e-mail and web sites.
An RFQ (request for quote) system allows users to submit details of a specific product or service they are seeking to multiple companies at once. This allows them to receive and choose from multiple bids. Each day mniguide.com transmits nearly 200 leads, inquiries and RFQs to the 30,000 suppliers currently advertising on the site.
Scott Kartsounes, Vice President of Technology at MNI commented, ''One of the unique advantages to mniguide.com is that there is no registration required to use the site. Right from the home page at mniguide.com users enter a product or service, company or brand name, and are instantly provided with list of matching results.

According to MNI, the site now receives an average of 26,000 category searches per day. Two-thirds of the companies featured are manufacturing establishments, while the other third supply industrial products and services. MNI is completely free for users visiting the site.
