DYONYX Ranks No. 906 on the 2007 Inc. 5,000 With Three-Year Sales Growth of 387.1%
NEW YORK, August 24, 2007 - Inc. today ranked DYONYX No. 906 on its first-ever Inc. 5,000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the country. 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.
DYONYX is an IT outsource and consulting firm with an impressive track record in both government and enterprise circles. “At DYONYX, we focus on our client’s productivity using multi-disciplinary teams of diverse professionals to help them define successful strategies and then design, implement and support solutions to execute those strategies” says co-founder and President Chuck Orrico. Partner and Chief Executive Officer Fred Pratt added, “We have been preaching business-technology alignment from the inception of our company over a decade ago. This customer focused approach allows for the ebb and tide of varied technical solutions and has helped our business thrive.” Co-founder and Chairman Walter Mckinlay added: “We are very proud of standing in the crowded, consulting marketplace. To receive this recognition of national prominence is a true testament to our customers and our world class talent.”
The 2007 Inc. 5,000, as revealed online at www.inc.com, reported median revenue of $9.4 million and median three-year growth of 140 percent. Complete information on this year’s Inc. 5,000, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000. The list features a profile for each company, almost all of them written as a result of Inc. interviews with management. In addition, the list is searchable according to numerous criteria, including industry, city, state, region, and year founded.
Hottest Regions for Fastest-Growing Companies
DYONYX was also listed on the Fastest Growing Companies by Region, placing No. 15 of Houston Metro Region (Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, TX) companies in the Inc. 5000. Leading the list of the fastest-growing companies in the nation is the Midwest region with 1,046 of the fastest-growing companies, followed by the West with 884 companies. The Southeast comes in a close third, with 872 companies, followed by the Northeast with 782 companies, and the Mid-Atlantic region with 606 companies.

The largest business category is Construction, with 561 of the fastest-growing companies in this category, followed by Manufacturing with 515 companies, IT services in third with 466 companies, Business Services with 377 companies and Advertising & Marketing with 349 companies round out the top five industries ranked on the 2007 Inc. 5,000.
