Edgetech I.G. Ranked in 2007 Inc. 5,000 List with Three-Year Sales Growth of 61.9%

Aug. 27, 2007

Edgetech I.G. Inc. announced today that it has been ranked in the inaugural Inc. 5,000 list of the fastest growing private companies in the United States with 61.9 percent growth from 2003-2006. The Inc. 5,000 is an extension of the Inc. magazine annual Inc. 500 list.

“The Inc. 5,000 provides the most comprehensive look ever at the most important part of the economy – the entrepreneurial part,” said Inc. 5,000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. “The expansion of the list has allowed us to tell the stories of larger companies, older companies, and a wealth of companies in industries like Manufacturing and Construction that are underreported in the business media.”

Edgetech I.G. manufacturers Super Spacer®, a line of thermal resistant, flexible spacer that is used to separate two panes of glass in an insulated window system. This flagship product line for the company promotes energy efficiency in residential and commercial window systems by nearly eliminating condensation and providing a seal that blocks heat and cold from passing from the outside. The company provides a full system approach to customer service by serving as a one-stop shop for quality products and services for insulating glass manufacturers, dealers, builders and architects. Edgetech is also an ENERGY STAR® partner and provides information to homeowners that help them select top-quality window systems.

“We are thrilled to be chosen for the prestigious Inc. 5,000 list,” said Mike Hovan, president, Edgetech I.G. “This is another milestone for Edgetech I.G. as we continue our outstanding growth in the United States and throughout the world. It is really a testament to our employees who continue their unwavering dedication to our products, our company and our commitment to our customers.”

The 2007 Inc. 5,000, as revealed online at www.inc.com, reported median revenue of $9.4 million and median three-year growth of 140 percent.
