SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 20, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inc. magazine has ranked Salt Lake City-based Spillman Technologies as one of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the nation, marking the sixth consecutive year that the company has been included in the exclusive list.

"We are very proud to receive this recognition for the sixth year in a row," said Spillman President and CEO Lance Clark. "We believe that our continued growth in this economy is due to our commitment to innovation and our dedication to building lasting relationships with customers."

Spillman has experienced a 40 percent increase in revenue from 2008 to 2011 and has added 41 new customers since the beginning of 2012. Inclusion on the Inc. 5,000 list places Spillman among the ranks of companies like Microsoft, Oracle, and Facebook.

"To be honored this year is a particularly notable achievement. To rank among the 2012 Inc. 5,000, your company had to thrive through three of the toughest years this economy has seen in recent memory," Schurenberg stated.
