Industrial Zones and Business Parks: how to find companies

Locate companies in industrial parks and business zones with GPS and verified data

Key takeaways
  • Finding companies in industrial zones and business parks is the first step to selling B2B services to manufacturing, logistics, and industrial companies
  • Europe alone has over 50,000 industrial parks with millions of businesses, and the pattern repeats worldwide from the US to Asia
  • With Vonsel you generate a database of companies in any industrial zone worldwide, with email, phone, and exact GPS location

To find companies in industrial zones and business parks, search the area on Google Maps by industry and neighborhood, then collect every result into one list. Each record should carry the company name, address, phone, website and map position. Vonsel automates that step and adds the emails each website publishes, so you can contact every unit in the park.

What are industrial zones and why do they matter for B2B sales?

Industrial zones and business parks concentrate the highest density of B2B companies per square meter. They are clusters where manufacturers, distributors, workshops, logistics companies, and service providers gather. If you sell to businesses, this is your market. For SaaS companies targeting industrial clients, understanding revenue retention is essential, as Paddle details in how SaaS companies retain revenue from enterprise clients.

The problem is that most industrial parks don't have an updated directory. Companies open, close, and move. Geolocation data is the only reliable way to know which companies are operating right now in each zone.

With a location-based search tool, you can map any industrial park in the world, filter by business type, and get verified contact data to prospect directly.

Export and contact

Frequently asked questions

How do you find companies in an industrial park?
The most efficient way is to use a geolocation tool like Vonsel. Search by industry and geographic area, selecting the city or even the neighborhood where the industrial park is, and you get a complete list of companies with name, phone, email, exact address, and GPS map location.
What data can you get from companies in industrial zones?
With Vonsel you get business name, direct phone, verified email, full physical address, website, Google rating, number of reviews, and social media profiles. Plus, each company appears geolocated on a map for planning visits and commercial routes.
Can you see companies from a business park on a map?
Search Google Maps and press Start. Vonsel gathers the business results as you explore the map, going beyond the pins you can see at a glance. Pause, continue and save your search when you are ready. Google Maps does not provide business emails. Vonsel visits the available business websites to find published emails, additional phone numbers and links to up to 118 supported social networks and other platforms. What it finds depends on what each website publishes. Keep businesses on a map, organise them by stage, edit their details and use a Kanban board, calendar, notes, actions, tags and custom fields. Basic holds 400, Pro 2,000 and Scale 10,000.
What is the difference between an industrial park and a business park?
An industrial park is an area zoned and planned for industrial development, while a business park, also called an office park, groups office buildings. Wikipedia describes an industrial park as a heavier version of a business park, which hosts offices and light industry. For prospecting, that tells you which kinds of companies to search for in each type of area.
Where are industrial parks usually located in a city?
Industrial parks usually sit on the edges of a city or outside the main residential area, close to transport links such as highways, railroads, airports and ports. Start your map search around those corridors, then narrow it by neighborhood or zip code and by industry, so the list contains only the companies you could actually sell to.
Why does a large industrial park need several searches?
A single search returns only part of a dense area. Google documents that its Places API Text Search returns at most 60 results across all pages, with 20 per page. Splitting a big park into smaller zones and searching each one by category gives you more complete coverage, and Vonsel keeps collecting results as you move across the map.
How do you estimate how many businesses operate in an area before prospecting it?
Official statistics give you a benchmark. In the United States, the Census Bureau's County Business Patterns series reports the number of establishments with paid employees by industry and employment size for each county. Compare that figure with the list you collect from Google Maps to see how much of the area you have covered, and where to search again.
How can you find business locations in other countries?
Search Google Maps for the city or district you want, choose the business type, and collect the results into a list with addresses and map positions. The same process works in any country where Google Maps has listings. Vonsel covers more than 120 countries, so you can build the same kind of database for industrial zones abroad.
