FindWhat.com and Thomas Global Register, LLC, have formed a joint venture that will power marketplace listings service using FindWhat.com label.

ThomasB2B.com LLC, expected to launch in the second half of 2004, will receive technology and other support from FindWhat.com. The alliance allows consumers to find products and services through intuitive directory listings using a dozen or more languages.

"Business-to-business marketing is an industry segment that has yet to be fully explored online," says Craig Pisaris-Henderson, chairman and CEO, FindWhat.com. "With FindWhat.com's expertise in listing technology and service, together with Thomas Global's market leadership position in B2B marketing, we believe this joint venture can become a definitive destination for global industrial B2B sourcing online.
