Former Inc 500 companies that have gone on to become household names include Microsoft, Timberland, Domino's Pizza and Patagonia. This year's Inc 500 set records in terms of both collective sales and growth rates, racking up a collective total of $12.5 billion in sales and an average 5-year growth rate of almost 2,000 percent. TECHMAR achieved over 1,900 percent growth in the past five years and was ranked number 130. "We are very pleased and proud to receive this recognition from Inc. Magazine," said Tim Young, Chairman and CEO of TECHMAR.

"The economy may have slowed, but entrepreneurial enterprises have always been, and will continue to be, the nation's foremost engine of growth and job creation." To be eligible for this year's Inc 500, companies had to be independent and privately held through 2000, have at least $200,000 in sales in the base year of 1996, and their 2000 sales had to have exceeded 1999 sales.
