Para-Plus Translations, Inc. Named to Inc. 5000

Global Language Translation and Interpretation Services Provider Recognized by Inc. Magazine and SmartCEO Magazine

Camden, NJ (I-Newswire) September 17, 2012 - Para-Plus Translations, Inc. (www.para-plus.com) was recently named to the Inc. 5000, a ranking of the fastest growing, privately-owned companies in the U.S.

Para-Plus Translations, which provides language interpretation and translation services, joins such well-known companies as Levi Stauss, CDW and Publix Supermarkets on the list, which is compiled annually by Inc. Magazine. A copy is available at http://www.inc.com/inc5000/list/2012.

Making the list this year was particularly notable given the economic climate, according to Inc.
editor-in-chief Eric Schurenberg. “To rank among the 2012 Inc. 5000, your company had to thrive through three of the toughest years this economy has seen in living memory,” he said.

Now in its 30th year, Inc. 5000 celebrates some of the most dynamic companies operating today. Participants are judged based on percent increase of revenue over a four-year period. To qualify, revenue in the initial year must be at least $200,000, and revenue in the most recent year must be at least $2 million. Companies named to the Inc. 5000 in past years include Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Jamba Juice, Timberland, Clif Bar, Pandora, Patagonia and Oracle.

In addition to the Inc. 5000, Para-Plus Translations was named a SmartCEO100 Best-Run Company. This award, hosted by SmartCEO magazine, honors an exclusive list of companies that are considered leaders within their industries and have experienced consistent revenue growth.

Para-Plus Translations was honored at a black-tie event hosted by SmartCEO at the College of Physicians in Philadelphia on June 7. The company’s ranking will also appear in the SmartCEO
mid-Atlantic Best Run Company book, which is set for release on October 10, and will be distributed to 135,000 CEOs throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.
