What's the best way to find manufacturers in a given area?

Asked by pallen123 (1519points) May 7th, 2011

I’m interested in identifying all the smaller (100 employees and fewer) manufacturers, or distributors around Cleveland Ohio. What’s the best source, directory, online or offline, for identifying these types of businesses?

Drive through the industrial parks surrounding the city! Record company names and look them up online.
