Transcend adds another industry accolade to its list with the recent ranking of number 169 on the Deloitte 500 list for North America and the fifth fastest growing company in technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and clean technology in the Philadelphia region.

Transcend continues to be recognized for its staggering growth of more than 500 percent over a three year period.  Transcend has acquired four companies in 28 months with successful integration and has sustained outstanding customer service and a strong reputation with vendors.

“To maintain our leadership position and grow through acquisitions, we were keenly focused on keeping our reputation for stellar customer service and strong partner and vendor relationships,” said Rick Hirsh, Transcend CEO.  “We made sure to spend the right time and resources on identifying and acquiring appropriate companies to integrate into Transcend United’s business model, which allowed us to maintain our leadership status and grow at a fast pace.”

 “Transcend United Technologies, like all 2011 Technology Fast 500™ companies, has excelled in fostering innovation and channeling it into spectacular growth — against the backdrop of one of the most  challenging economies in history,” said Eric Openshaw, vice chairman and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications leader, Deloitte LLP.

In order to be eligible for the Deloitte recognitions, companies must own proprietary intellectual property or technology that is sold to customers in products that contribute to a majority of the company’s operating revenues. Companies must have base-year operating revenues of at least $50,000 USD, and current-year operating revenues of at least $5 million USD. Additionally, companies must be in business for a minimum of five years.
