FORTE Winner of
the Fast 55 Awards
Business Courier
Award Honors FORTE as one of Greater Cinicnnati’s 55 Fastest-Growing
Private Companies
November 1, 2005—-The Cincinnati Business Courier will
recognize FORTE as a Fast 55 Award winner Thursday, Dec. 8 during
a banquet at the downtown Cincinnati Hyatt Regency. The Fast 55
luncheon is a premier program recognizing the 15-county region's
fastest-growing private companies. This year marks the fifth time
FORTE has received a growth award by the Business Courier.
The 55 companies were determined by calculating their three-year
sales growth rate. To be eligible, companies must be independent,
for-profit, privately held and headquartered in Greater Cincinnati.
They also had to average at least $1 million in revenue over the
past three fiscal years.
The program, first held in Greater Cincinnati in 2004, was expanded
from 50 companies to 55 this year, due to the tight competition
in growth among the more than 200 companies measured for the competition.
“FORTE is proud to be among the dynamic companies that compose
the Fast 55,” FORTE CEO and president Gene Forte said. “We
are continuously enhancing our services and expertise to enable growth.
We owe our success to our exceptional personnel, proven business
model and best-in-class customers.”
