Crain's Chicago Business Names MicroTek as One of Chicago's Fastest Growing Companies
Downers Grove, Illinois, June 12, 2007 - MicroTek today announced that it has been named one of the fastest growing companies in Chicago, according to Crain's Chicago Business.
The company, which has experienced an explosive 274% growth over the past five years, ranks 28th on Crain's Chicago Business's first annual Fast 50 list.
"Our growth can be attributed to two main factors – introduction of new services and increased marketing outside of our core hardware/software market," said Don Slivensky, MicroTek’s CEO. Companies like Level 3 Communications, IBM Global Services, DaVita, Google, Educational Testing Services and Global Knowledge are all MicroTek clients.
For 16 years, MicroTek has been the leading provider of computer-equipped training facilities and logistics in the world. “Our strong position as a classroom provider has given us a solid foundation from which to launch our additional services”, said Bill Taylor, President. “MicroTek’s recent growth comes from a number of client successes where MicroTek has been called upon to provide a total training outsourcing solution rather than just classrooms. Providing instructors, courseware services and project management services positions MicroTek as a true training partner with our clients and not just a vendor.”
"We are very proud to be included in the Crain's Fast 50. This year has been a turning point for us, having had our biggest month ever in March. Making the Crain’s list reaffirms that the decisions to expand our service offerings will allow us to continue to meet our growth objectives and the needs of our clients," added Slivensky.
The Crain's Fast 50 list is comprised of public and private companies headquartered in Chicago's six-county area (Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will) with 2006 revenue of at least $30 million. For more information visit www.chicagobusiness.com
