Optoplex Corporation, a leading supplier of innovative fiber-optic components for the next-generation communication systems, today announced that Optoplex is ranked Number 13 in Deloitte's Technology Fast 50 Program for Silicon Valley Internet, Media, Entertainment and Communications Companies.
This year's Silicon Valley Technology Fast 50 program is co-presented by Deloitte, Silicon Valley Bank, Korn/Ferry International, Cooley Godward Kronish LLP, Cornish & Carey Client Solutions, and ABD Insurance and Financial Services – A Wells Fargo Company. Rankings are based on the percentage revenue growth over five years from fiscal year 2003–2007.
Optoplex's CEO Jim Sha credits the company’s technology leadership and market positioning for its 1,908 percent revenue growth during the five-year span. “As an innovative company, Optoplex committed itself to the technology forefront even during some difficult times,” said Sha. “We will continue to position Optoplex as a technology leader in the 40G/100G optical components and modules market and provide our customers with the most demanding solutions.”
“Deloitte’s Silicon Valley Technology Fast 50 companies have shown the strength, vision and tenacity to succeed in today’s very competitive technology environment,” said Mark Jensen, Managing Partner, National Venture Capital Services, Deloitte & Touche LLP, in Silicon Valley. “We applaud the successes of Optoplex and acknowledge it as one of the very few to accomplish such a fast growth rate over the past five years.”
To qualify for the Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in fiscal year 2003 and $5,000,000 in fiscal year 2007, be headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, and be a company that owns proprietary technology or proprietary intellectual property that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues; or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using other companies' technology or intellectual property in a unique way does not qualify.
Companies from the regional Technology Fast 50 programs in the United States and Canada are automatically entered in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 program, which ranks North America’s top 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies.
