How to search by codes


Kompass has set up link tables between some regional public classifications and its proprietary classification.
You can enter a SIC or NACE code for instance and retrieve the corresponding companies in our worldwide database.

The Kompass classification (with 55,000 7-digit products and services) being the most detailed, you will get more accurate results by searching it directly.
Moreover it can be searched by word in 25 different languages whereas as the other classifications can only be searched by codes from our site. Also it is updated every year with numerous new products.
