i need a directory, or asource for all the manufacturers and disrtributor groups in the US. These are not to be confused with asscociations ,buying goups,co-ops or marketing groups. For example, a big manufacturer may have 400 distributors who meet 2 times a year and they would be referred to as a distributor group.

Dear Farrell,

Dun & Bradstreet publishes a classification of business based on their "SIC" code which can provide you what you need. SIC stands for Standard Industrial Classification and is a 4 digit code number used to organize business based on what they do, such as manufacturing or distributors. Any business section of a library should be able to help you find a copy.

Actually, the D&B listing does not just have "big companies." Although D&B is large, its SIC classification even collects information on Mom & Pop businesses. If they file taxes, D&B is likely to list them.

To get contact information you would then have to cross reference the business name, but that can be done.
