Timbercon, Inc. Ranked #2,487 on the Inc. 5,000 List of the Fastest-Growing Private Companies in the US
LAKE OSWEGO, OR - August 23, 2007 - Timbercon, Inc. today announced that it ranked #2,487 on the first-ever Inc. 5,000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the country, with 140.6 percent growth over the past three years. The Inc. 5,000, an extension of Inc. magazine's annual Inc. 500 list, catches many businesses that are too big to grow at the pace required to make the Inc. 500, as well as a host of smaller firms. Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy.
"The Inc. 5,000 provides the most comprehensive look ever at the most important part of the economy - the entrepreneurial part," said Inc. 5,000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. "The expansion of the list has allowed us to tell the stories of larger companies, older companies and a wealth of companies in industries like Manufacturing and Construction that are underreported in the business media."

Timbercon products can be found in a variety of applications across multiple industries including the data storage, industrial, defense/government, telecommunications, test & measurement, medical, broadband and networking industries.
