Thomas' Register (a/k/a Thomas Catalog or "TomCat") is a publication
of TR Data Publishing and consists of a family of multi-volume
"catalogs" in which manufacturers publish their brochures and
product lists. (The architects have something similar for building
and constuction products called "Sweets' Catalog.")
The Thomas' Register specialty catalog called the "Thomas Food
Industry Register" is one of their products which is available
online at:
URL: < http://www.tfir.com >
It requires registration for access, but there is no charge for
this. (Manufacturers pay to be in the Thomas Register so that
customers and prospective customers can see what they have to offer.)
The Thomas Register of American Manufacturers is also available
online at:
URL: < http://www.thomasregister.com >
and is a good place to search for just about anything you might need
to run a manufacturing business, from steel to electric motors to
uniforms to packaging equipment.
And there are also European and International editions of many of the
Thomas Register products.
Once again, the Chile-Heads Digest comes through with little know
facts your mother never told you.
Enjoy.
