Cincinnati, Nov. 7, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inc. magazine ranked 2trg No. 816 on its fifth annual Inc. 500|5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents America’s independent entrepreneurs and recognizes growth from 2007 to 2010. 2trg’s growth rate during that time period was 381%, the sixth highest in the Environmental Services industry category. 2trg joins Spirit Airlines, television maker Vizio, Honest Tea, Dunkin Donuts and Metrokane, makers of the Rabbit corkscrew, among other prominent brands featured on this year’s list.
This is the second time this year that 2trg has been recognized for its growth. 2trg won the Business Courier’s Fast 55 award for the revenue category of $5.1 million to $10 million in June. The company, which specializes in end-of-life computer and technology recycling, expects future growth, especially now that the Cincinnati processing center has achieved e-Stewards, R2, ISO 14001:2004, and OHSAS 18001:2007 certification. "2trg’s certifications, processing capabilities, and facilities provide our customers with the advantage of knowing that 2trg will recycle their equipment in an environmentally safe and legally compliant manner. A limited number of recyclers in the country have the certifications we do. We have an advantage in the industry and provide services that are in demand; we expect continued growth for years to come," 2trg Chief Client Officer Stuart Shaffer said.

Growth companies, not large corporations, are where the action is," says Inc. magazine Editor Jane Berentson.
