Lead-generation made easy: Valuable data on the German companies with the highest turnover on the stock exchange clearly presented
Overviews of the largest companies in a region are plentiful on the internet. So why should you choose our list of the largest listed companies? There are many reasons. First of all, we work continuously on the data quality of our lists. This means that the information included is as up-to-date as possible and we ensure that we always identify the companies with the highest turnover. Many lead generation databases often have outdated data and do not contain all relevant companies. Another advantage of our data sets is the clear, neat preparation in an Excel file. Sector overviews in pdf format are practical for certain purposes, but can neither be imported into a CRM system nor edited according to your needs. In addition, there is the detailed information in our industry lists, which enables uncomplicated sorting and filtering of the list according to your needs.
The list of the largest German stock exchange companies is an excerpt from our Germany-wide database
With Research Germany we make unclear markets transparent and accessible. Our industry lists are characterised by high data quality and topicality. Our research team is constantly working on optimising and expanding our databases so that we can always provide our clients with the best possible data. At the centre of our work is our list of the 5,000 companies with the highest turnover in Germany. We research the largest companies in the country, classify them according to sector and field of activity and compile the turnover and number of employees of the last few years. This way, our clients can immediately start working with the list and establish new partnerships. Based on this database, not only our overview of the largest listed companies has been created, but also numerous other data sets of German industry. In addition to regional lists (e.g. data set of the largest companies in Bavaria), we also offer various Germany-wide industry lists (e.g. data set of the 300 largest mechanical engineering companies in Germany). In our online shop you will find a large number of such data sets and we will also be happy to create individual extracts for you. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us and we look forward to hearing from you.

The companies included in the list can be found through various sources: Internet research, public registers, analysis of relevant news, investigation of relevant transactions, our extensive personal network. Hundreds of hours of detailed, high-quality research flow into each of our lists. All data points that we can enter via publicly available sources are included in our lists.
Every data point for which there is publicly available information is filled out in our lists. However, if we do not have an e-mail address or we do not know whether a company is investing in a particular area, we fill this field with an “n.a.”. In most cases we achieve a data coverage of over 90%. If you want to know the exact coverage of the list – e.g. how many e-mail addresses are available – our team will be happy to help you.
Our lists are always delivered as handy Excel files. On request we can also send you the list as a CSV file.
After purchasing the list, you can immediately download the list as an Excel file when paying by credit card or PayPal. You will also receive a download link by e-mail. Future free updates will also be sent to you by e-mail.
We have noted the last update date in the product description at the top of the page. We update our lists regularly. Our customers receive free updates and additions to the list for at least 12 months.
Our lists contain – if publicly available – address, telephone number, e-mail addresses and management names of the listed companies. For privacy reasons, we may only include information that is publicly available or provided by the companies. If no data points are available, there is an “n.a.” in the corresponding field.
Due to GDPR our lists do not contain personal e-mail addresses and telephone numbers. Our lists contain publicly available contact data or contact data provided by the companies (e-mail address, telephone number, postal address, names of directors).
Our lists do not contain any personal contact data that is specifically protected by the European Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our lists always contain publicly accessible data points (official registers such as the Commercial Register or the Federal Gazette, Internet, company websites) or data provided voluntarily by companies. In Germany, contact is regulated by §7 UWG. Thus, postal advertising in the B2B sector is generally permitted. Contacting by telephone is permitted if the business contact is presumably interested. This is often also assumed for e-mail contact, as long as the contact is made once and the contact is not included in newsletters without being asked. Important note: We are not lawyers and cannot make legally binding statements. If you have any open questions, please feel free to contact us.
The companies included in the lists can be contacted in various ways – by telephone, postal letter, e-mail, networks such as LinkedIn, jointly attended trade fairs. In order to establish successful contacts, it is particularly important to work on individualized addresses tailored to the respective companies. Mass letters are rarely successful. Instead, our customers are most successful when they adapt to the companies included in our lists, obtain information and then address them in a customized manner. Another successful approach is to contact them via LinkedIn, for example, by selecting the right contact person from our list and then addressing them via a consistent starting point. Intros” that are mediated via shared contacts are also a good step towards establishing contact. Also possible: at trade fairs visited together, you can use the trade fair lists to search specifically for companies included in the lists and make appointments for meetings. In general: the more effort is put into the individual approach, the more successful it is. Think about what suitable starting points are, how you can deliver added value and show the addressed companies that you put a lot of effort into the contact. Many of our customers have already built up valuable and successful business relationships.
