Orb Optronix, Inc. Ranks Number 15 on the 100 Eastside Fastest-Growing Private Companies List Released by Puget Sound Business Journal
2011 Companies Honored and Rankings Announced
KIRKLAND, WA - June 22, 2011 - Puget Sound Business Journal announced that Kirkland business Orb Optronix, Inc. ranked number 15 on the 100 Eastside Fastest-Growing Private Companies list at an awards event at The Golf Club in Newcastle, WA on June 21, 2011. The event, which drew nearly 500 people, announced and honored all 100 companies on the list and revealed each company's ranking. The 100 Eastside Fastest-Growing Private Companies are listed, with select companies profiled, in a special publication of the Business Journal on June 22, 2011.
The Fastest-Growing Private Companies program was launched in 1995 by the Puget Sound Business Journal to identify and recognize companies speeding to the top of their industries. To be eligible, companies must be privately held and headquartered in Washington; have at least $500,000 in net revenue in 2008; show an overall growth from 2008 to 2010 fiscal years; and agree to have their CPA confirm their net operating revenues with Puget Sound Business Journal.
Throughout the years, more and more, the state-wide list is comprised of companies that hail from Eastside communities. To that end, this year the Business Journal has launched a new award program to honor the Eastside Fastest-Growing Private Companies that have achieved significant revenue growth between 2008 and 2010. Participants are still eligible for the statewide awards presented by Puget Sound Business Journal each Fall.
"Orb Optronix has been pioneering in one of the fastest growing segments of technology -- high-brightness LED test and measurement," said Rand Lee, President of Orb Optronix. "Our growth is certainly part of a worldwide push to create safe, cost-effective and energy efficient lighting using LEDs. We are proud to be recognized by the Puget Sound Business Journal as a growth leader on the Eastside."
The 100 Eastside Fastest-Growing Private Companies program is presented by the Puget Sound Business Journal and sponsored by Barclay Dean Environments, and the Foster School of Business, University of Washington Technology Management MBA Program.
