Bantam Recognized as a Fastest Growing Company in 2007 Inc. 5000

NEW YORK, August 31, 2007 – Inc. today recognized Bantam Electronics, Inc., a leading provider of high mix electronics manufacturing services for emerging companies, on its inaugural Inc. 5,000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the country. The Inc. 5,000, an extension of Inc. magazine’s annual Inc. 500 list, catches many businesses that are too big to grow at the pace required to make the Inc. 500, as well as a host of smaller firms. Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy.

“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.”

Bantam Electronics, a provider of high mix custom manufacturing and end-to-end supply chain management solutions to small- and mid-sized technology companies, focuses on building its business by helping its customers build their businesses. The company’s services enable customers take their products to market faster, improve quality and customer satisfaction, and reduce overhead.

“We are very pleased to be ranked by Inc. as one of the nation’s fastest growing privately held companies,” said Bantam Electronics President and CEO Michael Chaddock.  “We’re also proud to be at the top in growth among high mix electronics manufacturing services providers.” The company's ability to provide high quality, rapidly implemented solutions for customers with smaller, high mix product volumes has helped it to quickly establish itself as an emerging leader. “Putting our customers’ success at the forefront of everything we undertake has been the primary driver of our own success,” Chaddock said.
