May 31, 2000 Applanix growth and success recognized by third party research!
RICHMOND HILL , CANADA - In a recent internal memo, Applanix Corporation President Blake Reid announced: "It gives me a great deal of pleasure to inform you that in their 12th annual survey of fastest growing Canadian firms, PROFIT magazine have just named Applanix Corporation in their top 100 list for 2000. Our ranking was number 90 and as their data showed, we experienced a five-year revenue growth of 1,068%.
Recognition such as this is important in many ways. First it shows that our product and service is working and that we are successful at what we do. Second, it illustrates to our clients that they are dealing with a winner – a firm that is growing and evolving – not just a one hit wonder. And lastly on a somewhat nationalistic note – as the majority of our sales are outside of the country such an accolade as the PROFIT 100 demonstrates that Canadians can be innovation/technology leaders – on a global basis!" PROFIT magazine is a widely read Canadian publication – "the Business Resource for Canadian Entrepreneurs". Each year, they research and publish a list called the "Profit 100 Companies". As the publication themselves put it "These companies experience growth that is more than dazzling – it’s downright blinding. The average Profit 100 firm doubles its sales every 11 months." In his letter advising Applanix of their success, magazine publisher Rick Spence stated "your organization’s performance has placed it among Canada’s top growth leaders, strategists and innovators."
