The deal allows Panjiva to connect buyers with American suppliers for the first time. ThomasNet, drawing on the content of Thomas Register, is a platform for data related to supplier discovery and component sourcing, equipment, MRO products, raw materials and custom manufacturing services from North American suppliers. They can now offer their services to Panjiva's 5,000 paying users, as well as the one million monthly visitors to the free portion of the company's website. They also get global exposure, given that 70 percent of Panjiva's traffic comes from outside the U.S.
