Boston, MA, Aug. 29, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tekscan®, Inc. has earned a ranking on the 2011 Inc. 5000, the business magazine’s annual listing of the fastest-growing private companies in America.
Tekscan®, leading manufacturer of tactile pressure and force measurement systems and sensors, has achieved more than nine consecutive years of revenue growth, and has more than doubled its revenue since 2004. Notably, between 2007 and 2010, Tekscan grew 40%. The company also increased its staff level by 24% during this timeframe. This is a testament to Tekscan’s ability to grow and prosper, despite periods of economic uncertainty. Inc. Editor-in-Chief Jane Berentson asserts, "More than ever, this year’s list is a testament to the creativity, resilience, and tenacity of America’s top entrepreneurs."
Thanks to solid financial standing, Tekscan has been able to dedicate significant resources and money to invest in itself through expanded research and production capabilities. In 2009, the company underwent an extensive renovation and remodel in its company-owned facility in Boston, MA. This included installation of additional state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment to increase yields and control costs. In 2010, Electronic Products magazine recognized Tekscan’s newly released High-Temp FlexiForce® sensor on its Product of the Year list, and the Pride Institute recognized Tekscan’s dental system with a "Best of Class" technology award.
The continued addition of resources and equipment allows Tekscan to succeed in its mission of delivering accurate, user-friendly, thin-film sensors and systems of the highest quality and value.
