RamQuest’s performance earned the ranking of the 58th fastest growing privately held company in the Dallas/Forth Worth Metroplex.

"We're honored to be recognized as a Dallas 100 award winner," said President Mark McElroy. "Both this award and the Fast 50 award we received earlier this year symbolize the dedication and commitment to excellence the RamQuest team puts into its products and services."

The Dallas 100™ Awards, presented by SMU’s Cox School of Business, Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship, and the CEO Institute, recognizes the 100 fastest-growing private companies across all industries in the North Texas area. Businesses must have had sales of at least $500,000 and not more than $65 million in fiscal year 2000, and have a three-year sales history which reflects growth during the three year sales period. Both percentage growth and dollar growth are considered in the contest.

This year’s winners illustrate the vitality of entrepreneurial endeavors in the Metroplex. In the past three years, 2003 Dallas 100™ winners generated more than $5.9 billion; they grew their number of employees from 10,093 in 2000 to 16,074 in 2002; they generated sales in 2002 of $2.7 billion; and, they grew average sales from 2000 to 2002 by 197 percent.
