Comma before which

Hey guys,

I am having some trouble with three sentences. I am not sure if I have to use commas in front of which in the following sentences:

I also doubt that many consumers even know which special products or companies have received an industrial design award.
Their sample was limited to only Dutch manufacturers which did not allow them to control their findings for companies all over the world.
This could lead to a better company performance which is significantly attributable to marketing intensity and not significantly to industrial design intensity.

Maybe someone can help me?

Hi Anon I also doubt that many consumers even know which special products or companies have received an industrial design award. No comma. The word "which" introduces a clause that basically functions as the direct object of the verb "know".
