# Importing Manufacturers

While importing other things like assets, accessories, licenses, etc, manufacturers will  be created for you if they don't exist, sometimes you may want to import a large number of manufacturers at one time before you begin adding other things.

You can **[find a sample CSV to start from in the source on Github](https://github.com/grokability/snipe-it/tree/master/sample_csvs)**.
