FISHER/UNITECH Makes 2008 Inc. List of Fastest Growing Private Companies in America

FISHER/UNITECH, a leading engineering technologies firm serving the Midwest, has been recognized by Inc. magazine as one of the top 5000 companies in the country. This list is a comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy, America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs. FISHER/UNITECH ranks at number 4,084 with 70% growth over the past four years, an impressive achievement for a Michigan-based company that has weathered economic downturn directly affecting the manufacturing industry.

“We are thrilled to be recognized as part of the Inc. 5000. Our team has worked hard toward achievement of our business plan each year, which includes aggressive growth targets,” said Charles Hess, president of FISHER/UNITECH. “By keeping focused on our area of expertise we’ve managed to buck economic trends and post increased revenue.”

To qualify for the list, companies must be U.S. based, privately held, for profit and independent - not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies - as of December 31, 2007. Applicable companies must also have had at least $200,000 in revenue in 2004 and $2 million in 2007.

The 5000 companies that made the list reported aggregate revenue of $185 billion and median three-year growth of 147 percent. Most important, the 2008 Inc. 5000 companies were engines of job growth, having created more than 826,033 jobs since those companies were founded.
