Information provided by Central Penn Business Journal:
Monday morning, at an breakfast held at the Hilton Harrisburg, 50 central Pennsylvania-based companies found out where they ranked in the Central Penn Business Journal’s sixteenth annual Top 50 Fastest Growing Companies program.
Representatives from the winning companies, and many other area businesses, were in attendance to recognize these impressive growth achievements. They also enjoyed a keynote speech by Michael Mitchell, president and CEO of Amelia’s Grocery Outlet.
Mitchell took listeners back to the very beginnings of Amelia’s LLC and explained the keys to their success are developing a strong business plan, recruiting a balanced management team and the power of advertising. He ended his speech with a summary and quote from John Wooden, “Next to love, balance is the most important thing”.
In order to be eligible for nomination, companies had to be public or private, for-profit entities headquartered in Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry or York county. They were
required to show revenue of at least $500,000 in each of the fiscal years ending 2009, 2010 and 2011; then demonstrate revenue growth for 2011 as compared to 2009.
SF&Company calculated the nominations and then ranked the companies according to revenue growth over the three-year period. Both dollar and percentage increases were taken into consideration, which led to the list of the 2012 Top 50 Fastest Growing Companies, consisting of both large and small companies.
A ranked list of honorees and profiles of each company and their financial growth will be published in a special supplement inserted into the September 14 issue of the Central Penn Business Journal.
The Top 50 Fastest Growing Companies is a program of the Central Penn Business Journal and is presented by SF&Company. Other sponsors include Highmark Blue Shield, Comcast Spotlight, Comcast Business Class, Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott, Sauvé Consulting
