“We are pleased to recognize Syncroness for their outstanding contribution to fueling the economic fire of our wonderful state. Thank you Syncroness.”, says Stephanie Steffens, Colorado Companies to Watch program director.

Colorado Companies to Watch is different from other awards programs. Because the program focuses on our entire state, and not specific industries, it provides an opportunity to paint a realistic picture of a true statewide economy. Since applicants are evaluated on more than growth, it widens the playing field to companies not often recognized for the critical differences they make in their industry, their community, region and our state.

DENVER, Sept. 28 /PRNewswire/ — Inc. magazine today named Syncroness, Inc. to its annual Inc. 5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. 2010 marks the third consecutive year that Syncroness has made the list.  Inc. 5000 represents a comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs.

“The leaders of the companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 have figured out how to grow their businesses during the longest recession since the Great Depression,” said Inc. president Bob LaPointe. “The 2010 Inc. 5000 showcases a particularly hardy group of entrepreneurs.”

At the heart of Syncroness’ success is its ability to bring process and discipline to the consistently unpredictable product development process.  Syncroness has achieved these efficiencies by its investment in infrastructure that automates processes, captures knowledge and improves communication, while keeping a keen eye on customer service.  Syncroness has extensive expertise in design and engineering within industries such as healthcare, aerospace and defense, test and measurement, consumer design and green technologies.

Greg Langley, Chief Executive Officer of Syncroness, stated, “Making Inc. 5000 for the third year running is an exciting honor for the entire team at Syncroness.  Our commitment to hiring exceptional people who produce outstanding results is the main tenet of our organization, and our sustained, year over year revenue growth validates that philosophy.”

The 2010 Inc. 5000, unveiled on Inc.com, serves as a unique illustration of the profound changes taking place in the U.S. economy. Despite the fact that most of this year’s measuring period of 2006-2009 took place during the latest recession, aggregate revenue among the companies on the list actually increased to $321.6 billion, up more than 50% from last year. The effects of the recession are seen, however, in the median three-year growth rate, which dropped to 96% from last year’s 126%. This year’s Inc. 5000 employ a record 1.4 million people, up from one million on last year’s list. With unemployment remaining stubbornly high, policymakers and business leaders will do well to look to the Inc. 5000 companies for fresh ideas on achieving growth and creating jobs.

Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found on www.inc.com/5000.
