How to find company subsidiaries
Tell Sculptor which parent companies to research
Paste a parent company name or list. Claygent browses each company to surface all known subsidiaries and their domains.
Claygent maps subsidiaries and enriches contacts
Claygent researches each parent company's corporate hierarchy to extract all known subsidiaries. Then Clay's waterfall enrichment searches 150+ providers to find a verified email for the target title at each subsidiary, logging only matched rows.
Get subsidiary names and verified contact emails
The finished table has subsidiary company name and, for rows the waterfall enriched, a verified contact email. Push to HubSpot, Salesforce, or your outbound sequencer to start working the accounts.
Why Clay for finding company subsidiaries
Structured corporate hierarchy in one action
Get the full parent-child tree for any company, including group HQ, corporate parent, and a Children field listing every subsidiary. Clay's HG Insights "Find Company Corporate Structure" action returns this from a single domain input.
Multi-source subsidiary coverage via Claygent
Fill gaps the structured data misses. Claygent browses each parent company's site, press releases, and CB Insights to surface subsidiaries not captured in the primary hierarchy action.
Verified contact emails via waterfall enrichment
Get a verified email for your target title at matched subsidiary rows. Clay waterfalls through 150+ providers and charges credits only when a provider returns a hit, flagging catch-all and role inboxes before delivery.
Auto-update and push to sequencer or CRM
Keep your subsidiary list current with auto-update on a schedule, then route enriched rows to Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, or Salesloft to trigger expansion plays across the corporate family.
Our most successful campaigns are built on data that doesn’t exist in off-the-shelf tools. Clay helps us find those signals — and transform ambitious ideas into executable, high-performing campaigns.
Frequently asked questions
How does Sculptor find company subsidiaries?
Sculptor takes your parent company input, queries HG Insights or Magellan Data to pull the full corporate hierarchy, and builds a row for each subsidiary with its name and domain. It then runs waterfall enrichment across 150+ contact-data providers to locate a verified VP of Sales email for each entity. You confirm the enrichment steps Sculptor recommends, rather than configuring each action manually.
How accurate are the subsidiary and contact results?
HG Insights maps corporate structures across 13M+ companies in 236 countries, so coverage skews strongest for mid-market and enterprise organizations. For VP of Sales emails, Clay's waterfall enrichment lifts single-provider coverage from roughly 30% to around 80% by cascading lookups through providers like Hunter, Apollo, and Lusha. Smaller or newly formed subsidiaries may return fewer contact matches.
Can I map subsidiaries for many parent companies at once?
Yes. Paste a list of parent companies, upload a CSV, or pipe rows from an existing Clay table. Sculptor generates subsidiary rows for each parent and runs VP of Sales lookups across the full batch. When results are ready, push the entire set to HubSpot or Salesforce with parent-child relationships intact, or download as a CSV for manual review.
Is it legal to email subsidiary contacts found this way?
CAN-SPAM applies to all commercial email in the U.S., including B2B messages, and requires accurate sender info, a physical address, and a working opt-out mechanism. Violations carry penalties up to $53,088 per email. In the EU, GDPR allows B2B cold outreach under a documented legitimate interest basis, but you must offer an opt-out and link to your privacy policy.
Always check the rules for your jurisdiction before launching outreach.
