Pittsburgh Company Research
These directories cover the Pittsburgh area and/or the state of Pennsylvania. In many cases they will be more inclusive than the resources listed in the Company Profiles section, and thus are particularly useful in finding information on small local companies. If you are researching a local public company, refer to the Financial Information page for more resources.
