Where can I find the locations of all or many of the factories in the world, including in Japan and the United States?

What do you mean by factory? Any place where good are made? Places of a certain size?– fgreggDec 7, 2014 at 14:45

@fgregg thank you for asking and answering. here I meant factory as place for making goods by consuming a certain amount of energy and other resources.– hirokiDec 13, 2014 at 8:30

In the United States, you might start by looking at water permits. Most large factories have to get permits for their waste and storm water runoff.
Here are discharge permits for Illinois. http://dataservices.epa.illinois.gov/dmrdata/dmrsearch.aspx
Storm water permits: Many industrial facilities have to get a permit for the pollution caused by water running off a location. Here's data for Illinois

Datamyne is a great source for finding sourcing of suppliers(factories) based on commodity descriptions OR via a product HS code.

Subtracted a point on a ISO Certified Database that contains factories or suppliers of goods from Japan into the US ? Not sure of the logic there, and it will take the user longer to use a "water/sewage" permit listing I'm confident than our tool. Been around since 1992, kthanx.– ShawnDec 9, 2014 at 22:14
