FAIRFAX, Va., Aug. 27, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SoBran, Inc. has again been recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. For the second consecutive year, SoBran achieved a spot on the Inc. 5000, an "unrivalled portrait of young, underreported companies across all industries doing fascinating things with cutting-edge business models," according to Inc. 5000 project manager Jim Melloan.
"We're honored to again reach this prestigious list of America's brightest companies," said Amos Otis, SoBran's CEO. "The ongoing commitment of our employees and customers put us on the list and will keep us there. We are building on our success and intend to continue our efforts to support those agencies that are solving some of the most critical challenges facing our country."
Specializing in anti-terrorism, critical infrastructure protection and security, biomedical research, defense systems engineering and sustainment, and supply chain services, SoBran employs more than 700 professionals and has operations in a dozen locations to support an array of high-profile customers. The U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Joint Military Commands, the National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Homeland Security contract with SoBran for best-in-class services in a variety of critical areas from medical research to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) detection to ensure that the nation, citizens, and facilities remain robust and secure.
Recent corporate milestones include a wide-ranging research contract with the National Institutes of Health and another multi-million dollar contract with the U.S. Army for chemical testing of first responder devices.
Nomination to the prominent Inc. 5000 list is just the latest award showcasing SoBran's momentum. SoBran, an ISO 9001 certified firm, also received the Department of Homeland Security's Small Business Achievement Award in 2006, and has earned a place on Black Enterprise Magazine's list of Top 100 Minority-owned Businesses, in 2006 and 2007.
